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

[Viscore]

Those who create videos and share them on YouTube want to earn extra money from people who join through their shared links.
We don't need to run away from them because they are just sharing something that might be useful for other people and they also don't force people to register.
Many followers follow their ways of making money so some can also make money.
We don't have to trust what they offer because they might not use it and just spread it to get money from sponsors and that's how they make money.
And if anyone registers themselves using the link shared by that influencer, that influencer gets additional commission from their followers.
I also don't like videos like that and will move on to other interesting videos.

As long as they don’t force us to subscribe, that will be totally fine. However, I have seen some potential YouTubers that are definitely not just doing their job for money, but they are really trying to help and encourage people to learn from it so they can make money as well. For me, that means that they have no bad intention for us, and they’re not here to deceive us. Except for those who are obviously doing just for money without even thinking if their contents are helpful or not.

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

From what I have seen of the influencers in this era that I have watched on YouTube, maybe if I average 100%, only 1% of the influencers have the sense to teach about crypto trading. Because what was said is true, most of them are really after views and subscriptions, because that's where the youtube platform is designed to make money for the channels whose theme is about trading.

Because there are other advertisements that are also based on the number of views and subscribers on how they choose promoters or influencers to campaign their business. That's the cycle of social media platforms in this generation. And number one is that influencers will really benefit from the referral bonus or affiliate marketing because their advantage is the number of their subscribers and huge views.

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.

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…

There is nothing wrong with trading, affiliates and opening a Youtube account to earn money. Even more than that, some have even opened offline and online classes and escrow services. Of course there is nothing more than diverse sources of income. In this way, someone can get more stable money and it might be able to support their trading/investment activities.
What I only hate are influencers who promote shitcoins or scam platforms to their audience just for dollars. That's why as a viewer, not all crypto influencers can be watched, because most of them are just making money and not providing education.

There is no bad thing to be influencer but try to be a good influencers because you will make money when you share your knowledge with others but with the help of this knowledge investors choose their ways of earning so giving them inaccurate knowledge can make them disappoint.

Not all influencers are bad but if one or two out of them are scamming people then because of this concept they never trust on other influencers too.

Now a days everyone has sharp mind that they don't listen to a single influencers but always use blended words from different influencers. Once someone asks you for money then realize that the work of such individuals is not accurate but only scam people for collecting charges from them.

[Sanitough]

Affiliates and YouTubing is totally fine! Yes, you might be making money trading, but do you know what's better? Making money by trading AND making money through affiliates and YouTube revenue. As long as you do affiliate marketing and YouTubing in a moral and ethical manner.

As for pump and dumpers and people doing fake TA, fuck them.

Well said. Those were the new trends of making money online and as long as they do it rightly, then there’s no reason that we should run from it. Except for those who are there just to deceive the people and know nothing about crypto affiliating and YouTubing but only to satisfy their own pockets. With that, we should get rid of them.

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.

[tygeade]

I don't see any problem with being a crypto affiliate and an influencer. It only gets bad when they try to feed their viewers with false information just for the sake of earning views and money. Because the time you become a public figure, you are now responsible on your audience because that is your job and you're getting paid for it, and might as well do your job properly. And as viewers, we are also responsible on who we should and should not follow because not all information we see on medias should be consumed. I would also like to emphasize that not everyone we see on social media is an influencer, it is actually a big word and it should not be used by anyone who just posted video on youtube and the likes, and then quoted themselves as an influencer. Because for you to become an influencer, you should have a wide knowledge about a certain expertise, for example crypto, and you should be able to influence your audience positively. I have known several influencers, and I still follow them up until now because they've become a big help for me when I was just starting to learn about crypto.

Yes, there are way too many of them who only do it for the money and the fame, which results with them not caring about anything else, including their followers. If it means that they would get more followers and more money, they would let you lose money, which would be weird and difficult because if they make you lose money then it would be hard for them to grow, so they do have an incentive to make you profit.

However, just because they have incentive for it doesn't mean that they will only do that, they do not care about that, they will make the loss look like a good thing and they will end up promoting themselves even harder with the money they got in order to make more and more profit that way.

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. 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.

Suffice it to recall a recent event when scammers gained access to Vitalik Buterin Twitter account and trusted him by following a phishing link that the attackers published. And as a result, they all lost the contents of their wallet. If followers didn't blindly trust everything published by Buterin, they would definitely keep their money.

influencers are not much different from politicians, their mouths are very sweet, they always show things that we don't know the authenticity of, so I never believe a bit of what they say, as if everything they do is easy (crypto trading, selling products )

I see on YouTube and even on Twitter there are many influencers who masquerade as trading experts even though they have never traded well. Their goal is of course to spread affiliate links that can be generated on the platform they will market on (exchange or gambling site), when you join via their affiliate link and make a deposit then you have given a little of your money to them, but if you really intend to help them and yourself then there's no harm in trying to register via their affiliate link because there are also influencers who give small bonuses to new members who register via the affiliate link they have.

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.

Trading is not that easy as you may see it because there are people who ventured into it and lost entirely is either they didn't exercised patient to have a thorough knowledge towards the field before they start funding their account to trade, whereas there are some project owners who hires influencers to talk about their project and after all every it turns to pump and dump, yes this is a pure intension to lure investors into their fucking scam scheme called project in the name of coin to scam people of their good dollars. Sometimes most people finds it very much better running an affiliate program than the trading since they can't afford to lose their funds so alternatively prefers affiliate marketing.

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.

A well-known influencer with a good reputation probably won't accept a ridiculous offer that damages their reputation. He may reap huge rewards - but if he does it for his own personal gain without caring about the risk of harm to others, then that is the last day he will ever gain the trust of his followers.

In fact, influencers who care about other people will do good research about something they are going to promote. I think one of the most well known is; Andreas Antonopoulos, he is an advocate for bitcoin.

Being an influencer is not a bad thing; it can even be considered an opportunity if the community viewers like your niche, but if not, that means thinking of another theme that viewers will like on the YouTube platform.

It's just that sometimes there are other influencers who are really liars; the way they share the affiliate link is just too deceiving, where in the thumbnail it will be clickbait to the viewers once you play the video, far away on the subject. Then others will say that you will earn this amount by just signing up and sharing your referral link; that's the strategy of others, which I think is not a good method.

Unfortunately most influencers are dishonest as they are trying to sell an image of themselves that is not true, and they do this because they know that if they do not do it then they cannot compete with those that choose to lie, then anyone that is looking to get honest advice from influencers needs to be on their guard as this is unlikely due to the nature of their jobs, and if they want to learn more about the markets they might as well just grab a book and be done with it.

Everything would really be an act and they would really be making themselves looking good as much as possible and they would really be building up their reputation until into its peak since they do know on what are the benefits and advantages that it could give on the time but we cant really be able to generalize that majority of them are shit and dishonest. There are still a number who are really that honest and really minding about their viewers condition or situation on which only giving out some suggestions or whatever it would be on which it isnt really something that do deceive their followers on which it is something that we do easily notice it out if ever we do see a certain video or streams. Also, making use of your own common sense would really be just enough for you to be able to
determine whether you are following a right person or not. You wont really be that so dumb on not to notice if there's something odd is happening.

Those liars ones are the one that makes the rest of them looks terrible. I have seen plenty of them as well and it was a bad period for the crypto world during the bull run because there were plenty of them. I know that it may feel like it is doing fine but at the end of the day it wasn't really doing fine and the results weren't all that great.

I think it should be something important to remember that we are going to make a profit from it as much as we possibly could from it. This isn't that easy obviously but we could make it work one way or another if we push through it. I believe that we are going to end up with something that should be possible to make a profit from but only if we give it enough time to do that.
