Honest question, what to think about “crypto” affiliates or influencers?

[Lanatsa]

Influencers in cryptocurrencies are often wrong with their forecasts. Many of them go tricky - they give two forecasts - if not up, then down, if not down, then up. Then they delete the wrong forecast and are always right. Influencers live off subscriptions, paid courses, and money paid to them by coin developers or exchanges. Referrals make up a large part of their income

Well, that's the job of an influencer. They will always protect their reputation so that their followers do not abandon them. And often I see things like that too. They make ambiguous analyses. But many beginners follow it. But not all influencers are not very good at analysis. Indeed, there are several influencers who are also experts in trading analysis. And he just makes videos for fun. And usually he only has a few videos. or rarely upload videos. Because he is more focused on his own trading. But there are also crypto traders who have turned into content creators and influencers. So we can still rely on their analysis. It's just that it's very rare. Because most influencers sometimes only take other people's analysis. Which he then modified with his own version. So there are really two types of crypto influencers. There are those who are really good at crypto trading and there are those who are not good at crypto analysis. They only focus on building a following and earning from content creators and affiliates.

There are ones who do mind their reputation and do show care into their followers/subscribers but there are ones who dont really care as long they could really be able to make money and get those jobs and getting paid
but it would really be that impossible that those who do reach out the state on having tons or good numbers of followers or huge network wont really be considering on protecting their integrity knowing that building up such numbers is never been that easy along the way which is why that majority of them would really be minding first whether the site or company that they are promoting is really that indeed that legit or something not that scam because on the time that problems do exist then this is the time that they would really be attached and would really be the ones would be facing up consequences on the time that legal issues or actions would kick in.
In overall these influencers are really just doing their job and getting paid and as viewers then it would really be always falls down into our own decisions that would be made out according into our own will
because if you do let yourself get easily fooled just because your favorite influencer had said such thing then it is really that your own fault.

I totally agree with you. Because basically everyone wants to earn money and they have their own type of work. And the same goes for an influencer who actually does their job as an influencer. Apart from all the things they share in their content, whether in the form of invitations or something like that. So actually they don't force anyone. So if we then follow information from an influencer and we immediately believe it without doing in-depth research first.if then everything ends not well. So clearly it is our own fault. Because we have determined and chosen to believe in what the influencer shares. In essence, we must have protection for ourselves in receiving all types of information that reaches us. When we get information, we have to re-research the information we received. Before arriving at the decision or conclusion stage.

If the information they shared is true and not just for hype or clout then they are good to follow since there are influencers that are totally toxic and doesn't care on who's gonna see their video, they don't care about promoting scams since their main concern is theirselves or how they can earn money. We need to do research about this so that we can make sure that we will not regret our decision to follow them and their activity.

If we see those guys sharing their referral links then tell about unrealistic claims like what is commonly happening like its easy to earn money here we immediately start to doubt about that since no easy program to anyone that can give them a lot of money. Scammers are the one who usually used that funny words.

There might be viewers or followers which they would really be making themselves get fooled with those influencers which arent really that bothering whether the thing that they are really that promoting are shit or not as long they would really be able to make money or earn and this what matter  the most but worry not because people wont really be that so dumb on not to see something on which it would really be resulting into those kind of avoidance later on on which it might really be leading up into that regret of a certain influencer. Most likely they would really be that so in case with their reputation and if they do see that their recent streams did get some tons or negativity then they would really be making out adjustments because if they dont then this would really be something that ends up with their career and this is something that they dont really like to happen. Influencers who had been able to make themselves getting big in terms of followers and popularity then for sure they've been wary about on their contents. If it turns out that it do brings out that harm into their reputation then they would really be simply making some adjustments with that and cant really just afford on risking it out specially if they do see something odd or something
that not really good to show into the public eye because it would really be rather creating that kind of judgement which would be ending up on negativity.

Just wondering for the sake of it, if crypto trading was so profitable for so many influencers and YouTubers, why would they care so much about affiliate money…? Why take the trouble of creating, editing and uploading so many videos? Does this mean that if you see any YouTuber or crypto “celebrity” pumping a product or trying to make a buck out of content, that you should run away from them? ‘Cos why take so much trouble if you are already making money with your trading? Of course not everyone is a trader, but…

It could be that getting more money will be more fun because basically humans will always feel the need to continue earning lots of money, as long as what they do doesn't harm other people then it's not a problem, what is a problem is if the influencer is promoting a scam project, only thinking about money what he gets without caring how many people lose because he promotes the project, but what sometimes cannot be denied is that the influencer realizes how difficult it is to make money from trading so he also does affiliates.

Yes true, information sharing is a big deal and sometimes there could be fake news and sometimes that could turn out to be true. If anyone can find one that is sharing true news and not a fake one then I feel like it is going to be fine and not really end up being anything dangerous. I hope that we could get to a point where we could end up with a good return.

It is hard to find those people but if we could keep doing it then we are going to be fine about it as well. I know that it is going to be something that we could deal with in the end but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a good result that quickly. So, we could find a good place, and do the good thing but the result may come later than we like to, that's just the market.

YouTubers you follow for trading or celebrities you follow will always bring you videos in which they have made profits, but never videos in which they experience losses in trading.

So true, they're all for the show and brag of their wins because that's more essential and likable for their audience unlike with their losses, it's no longer amusing as everyone is losing.

You should never follow YouTubers directly, just take some ideas from them. How a youtuber trades and how he trades and earns huge profits If you want to trade like that you will definitely lose your money. Make yourself more efficient in trading. You can get ideas from other successful or experienced traders about the things that you find difficult and then you can try to become efficient yourself by using that idea. If you can try this way, you will surely become a successful trader.

I agree, go get the helpful ideas and tips that they get but never get into following all that they are saying. You can take those words but pick what will be helpful for you instead of what everything has been fed to all of you. That's how the social media and influencing business goes, they will make themselves smart as if you're just going to extract what they say but in fact, many of those aren't based on actuality and experiences.

always considers their opinion as just an advertisement, i would always doubt their opinion and the things they mentioned in general after all there's always ulterior motives.
i would argue that sometime these influencers and affiliates are good at giving information about the project that they're related with.
but at the end of the day they are doing this for the sake of money advertising the project sometime they don't care how shit the project are, or how shit their trading journey was.
therefore take it with grain of salt.
its always better if you can do analysis based on your own, so that you won't get easily deceived.

There is nothing wrong about being a Youtuber and/or affiliate in the world of cryptocurrency trading.

It’s just that most of them that I see are just hyping their viewers with their fake TAs, shilling tokens that it could go x10, x100, etc.

These kinds of influencers on Youtube, TikTok or any other platform who are doing these schemes just don’t care about what others think but rather focusing on earning money by giving them ridiculously expensive “crypto trading” courses.

I would rather be following ethical crypto Youtubers who are for real and not hyping their subscribers and/or followers. In fact I am a crypto Youtuber myself, but I would rather be called as a content creator or educator than being an influencer.
