YouTuber's hype video is not good advice

[bananaunana]

YouTube is very famous when people want to find out more information about crypto and it's always generating many clicks for YouTubers. But unfortunately, information quality is not very high for most videos because of hype and clickbait videos.

It is very important for us to know YouTuber's hype video is not good advice.


YouTubers want to create hype, not quality information

An important point for each YouTuber is to generate clicks and views and followers.
And to get clicks and views and followers, it is a strategy from many YouTubers to launch hype videos, where outrageous claims are made, such like:
- Bitcoin will crash (soon)
- Bitcoin will die (soon)
- Bitcoin will make new all-time-high (soon)
- Altcoin will overtake Bitcoin (soon)
- Altcoin will die (soon)
- …

It is always similar strategy for YouTubers to create hype instead of presenting normal information. It is very dangerous because accurate information is not presented. Instead, reality is hyped and exaggerated.
= information quality is suffering and sometimes very misleading


YouTubers spreading HATE and FEAR (FUD)

It is also very efficient for YouTubers to spread hate and fear because it's also generating clicks and views. Many people will get worried and click such videos to find it out but all information is just unjustified FUD, resulting in damages.
One reason is YouTuber’s greed to generate clicks and views and also a reason is for example, Russian propaganda. It is also possible, YouTubers are getting paid from Russia to spread hate and fear, as Russia has many loyal serfs on YouTube.
For us, such YouTubers are very dangerous because it’s facilitating
- Hate
- FUD
- weak hands and more sell pressure because people don’t trust to HODL

It is scientifically proven for hate and fear (FUD) to generate more clicks, so it is a common strategy for YouTubers to get more clicks and views.

Be careful when you see hate and fear (FUD) on YouTube.


YouTubers getting paid to advertise a project

Very often, big YouTubers are getting paid from a project directly to present it in a positive way. Some projects pay YouTubers directly and hope to get more investors due to positive YouTube videos because many followers trust, what YouTubers are publishing even it makes not much sense at all.
For a high payment by projects, many YouTubers will only mention positive facts and forget often to inform about risks and flaws of a project to get many followers to invest.
Or it's about a shady exchange, where YouTubers will also get a profit if you sign up from a referral link.


YouTubers are trying to distribute referral links

A significant amount of YouTube videos is made in hindsight to collect money by referral-links.
For such YouTube videos we'll find a referral link mentioned somewhere which will lead us to to an official project site, where we can register to invest. Of course, a YouTuber who will mention such projects and mention his referral link, will get a reward if we click his link to join, register and invest, often a percentage of our amount invested. Of course, any YouTuber will be interested to make you join and invest a huge sum because of his profit.

A famous hype channel was (or still is) Trevon James, who advertised heavily for a known scam, Bitconnect.



Conclusion

YouTuber's content is often of very low quality and only based on hype:
It is very easy to detect, when we view some YouTube presentations, where it’s often clickbait:





It is very clearly clickbait.
For us, we should always know: YouTuber's hype video is not good advice. It is not well researched and low quality content.

Every media platforms has it own unique use and literally all of them has there advantage and disadvantages. Because YouTube pays her content creators based on views and numbers of subscribers, it's just normal to find some YouTubers creating content that's not really fact based but basically aimed at getting more views and subscriptions. But does that mean that you can't get legit information from the YouTube? Absolutely not, for me, YouTube is my surest plug when I want to learn about any subject matter. Regardless of the hype and how they use images to exaggerate things, there are still bunch of good channels you can subscribe to and get specific courses and content that are useful to you.

If you want to check out if a channel is legit or not, you can go through reviews from the comment section of the video and you can easily dictate comments that are organic and others that are paid and from them, you can know if you should trust what you're getting from them. While getting your information from YouTube, it's best not to rely on a single channel but to check up other channels that talks about similar things to see if the information aligns.

Hyping a video is just a strategy that's used by almost all YouTubers to attract users to there channels and regardless of the difference in quality between a pro and a novice YouTuber, you've got to add a touch of hype to your videos if you want to get audience.

But with regards to using YouTube to get information about some crypto project and other project that requires you to pay in money or that runs a referral scheme, you can't really rely on YouTube for such help cause most of them are running affiliate schemes and are doing the hype to get the expected numbers of leads. Thank goodness we have a forum as this we can rely on to fact check most project before getting started in them.

Majority of youtubers are content creators all they want is to have views and subscribers to make money, they move with the trends now that the market is somehow bearish it's obvious they will act like this to influence those who are affected by FUD.

To be frank I don't usually use YouTube for any financial advice or cryptocurrencies, is either majority is speaking on the market current trend or marketing a product/service in the end.
It's only when someone get into the crypto space or invest in Bitcoin with the wrong mindset that it's a get rich scheme they will be swayed by all these content creators.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Yes, it's true that the primary goal of every YouTuber is to get views, since the more views he gets, the more money he/she is likely to earn at the end of the month, hence the reason why we see most YouTube content hyping stuffs just to generate views, of which we all know that crypto is not exempted from it. So inasmuch as YouTubers will always create contents for the views, it's left for us to always not rely entirely on only what we hear or see on YouTube, but rather strive to do more research on it before jumping into a conclusion.

An important point for each YouTuber is to generate clicks and views and followers.
And to get clicks and views and followers, it is a strategy from many YouTubers to launch hype videos, where outrageous claims are made, such like:
- Bitcoin will crash (soon)
- Bitcoin will die (soon)
- Bitcoin will make new all-time-high (soon)
- Altcoin will overtake Bitcoin (soon)
- Altcoin will die (soon)

However, if I should come across video titles such as these 5 which you gave above, I'm very sure nothing will make me click on it, as it do not create the image of a curious mindset, which is one trick YouTubers use by creating either a thumbnail or title which makes viewers ro want to know what happens next, with titles such as these below;

- Bitcoin will crash if these 3 things happen
- Bitcoin will die if miners fail to do this 5 things
- Bitcoin will make new all-time-high when this happens
- Altcoin will overtake Bitcoin if US does this
- Altcoin will die if developers fail to do this 5 things

Hence, you will notice that with the few words I added, it make viewers curious to want to click to know more. That's how going viral and getting views on YouTube works.

It's not actually a new thing. Alot of these YouTube channels are just there to earn through views and subscribers. Most of them pass along false information and hype to maybe increase sales for their shit coin promotions or scam young potential investors of their funds. There are several of these YouTube channels I've come across with these hypes and upon clicking their video, you see that they barley even know what they are emphasizing on. This clearly show that there aren't there to educate but make money from peoples watch time. They create attractive headings for these video to give them views. I don't advice newbies to watch YouTube but instead get their hands on good materials to help them understand the market.

Sometimes people easily get influence just because of the personality actually telling about that particular project and a case sample is the event that happened with $Davido coins that he made lots of naive Nigerians buy and later dumped the whole project.

Nothing sweet pass when you do your own research say your analysis come dey correct about the project. As crypto enthusiast you suppose dey independent, because Na the only way wey you go take survive for this line of field.

You are not far from the truth mate because majority of people that use YouTube now are only creating contents and they would always want to make a news gain attention of viewers just for their own selfish interests but someone like me i pay less attention to those hypes and notifications that hangs around my phones notifications bar almost every day. Sometimes you will just wake up and see a YouTuber flash a very disturbing news about cryptocurrency and they do that with the current activities in the market like when the price of Bitcoin is dipping you see them talking down on Bitcoin that it will experience more dip and this kind of news makes some investors (short term investors) sell off their assets because of fear of the market price falling further and when the price is also skyrocketing that's how they will start hyping that the price with get to the moon, some will make speculation about the price hitting certain huge price within a short period so if you are the type that follows such YouTuber more especially the ones that have made such speculation in the past and it did work out then you are likely to still follow up their speculation again which can be misleading in most cases.

The tin be say, for every social media them get people wey go advise wrong advise and those wey go advise good advise, because of the way crypto newbies them dey depend on social media advisors nai they make they dey dey easily to scam. Listening to motivational speakers and reading motivational quotes from social medias no dey help most people at all because them dey always end up for the hands of the wrong crypto advisors.
The real truth be say, anybody wey dey popular for social media just dey there for the fame. No influencer dey social media to joke, just as how many business pipo no dey carry their business dey play, nah so influencers too no dey carry anything wey go give them popularity play. I fit also give one influencer money to promote my business and before you know customers from different places to place their orders. Influencers only need quantity not quality, them only promote things wey pay them higher money.
A good crypto newbie who's ready to understand what an how to invest on Bitcoin will never depend on social media alone. However, instead of me to listen to Bitcoin enthusiasts I rather do my research from AI. AI assistant fit give me some quality informations I want instead of to listen to pipo wey just dey there to make their money alone.

Seeking for a reliable and trusted platform for information regarding cryptocurrency and bitcoin, then this platform is best described for such purpose since bitcoin discussion is the major reason for it's creation, we have to know this truth that there's no regulation and reliability in getting informationa from social media platforms like YouTube or Facebook as we can have it on this forum when it comes to bitcoin, you can keep getting diverse information on some of these social media because people there are not even experienced about bitcoin or cryptocurrency but want hype on their account.
