Probably the reason that people still listens to him is because he's the one that's a good way to know if you can get a profit from investing in something that he's talking about, just do the opposite of what he says and I think that it's a really good way to go. Cramer is the Cassandra of investments albeit we know for a fact that we don't have to believe in his predictions. I think that this guy deserves my follow on X, seems like a good way to aide your predictions on your investments in case he talks about it.
He has a successful career and he was hired to be like an influencer to gain more audience to a television channel. When we are discussing about him in Bitcointalk, there are more people watching his shows on television, on Youtube and also discussing about him somewhere else.
It means the television channel already gained success by hiring Cramer to work for them.
Don't trust his words of mouth, verify what he says and with Internet, freedom of information, we can filter information not only from Cramer but also from other people includes influencers.
