We have loads of experience of this in the poker community with all the scams that we witnessed and hindsight lessons.
The part that I think "dude c'mon" at; is a successful 30+ man with a tonne of life experience in internet memes, bbv trolling, vanessa selbsting, GTO life decisions, climbing the hu tree... calling out kids between the age of say 18-22.... who have worked hard to build up an audience that Doug is targeting. ie commentating on DataDash's apology vid was wayyy out of line imo... the kids 19 years old for example. Do you guys remember what kind of mistakes the likes of us were making at 19? pissbottles, showing results in hand histories, folding 70% of hands on the button, reading phil helmuth poker books
Won't someone please think of the innocent children?!
The 'stupid' naive kids who promote ponzi schemes and make $800k out of their YouTube subscribers and shill every lending platform and cloud mining site going.
They're hurting people who are even more clueless at crypto for their reward (sounds similar to poker) but at least the fish in poker know there's a chance they're going to lose at the table. The YouTube promoters show they're raking in 2%/day on some lending platform and raking in money and on track to make $1 million/year.
It's ok though, the kids aren't promoting the sites and it's not financial advice. p.s. 'please use the affiliate link in the comments section'
