WEB3 "gurus" = basically frauds 🤡

I know, I know. The drama is getting old and the dude is just being annoying at this point but I still want to touch a bit on the state of the #WEB3 influencer space. HBD aside. No need to cover that. My APR doesnt care about some uninformed opinion on Twitter.

I was curious to see who exactly were the people that were following this guy and engaging with his tweets.
I mean, there cant really be actual people trying to learn about WEB3 from him, considering he doesnt even use WEB3.
He uses his twitter to lead people to his articles on Medium.com.😂

Its kind of like if Michael Saylor shilled Bitcoin and then had a link in his bio to the Federal Reserve "About Us" page.

What the hell can someone like that teach anyone about WEB3? Probably nothing.

I looked a bit into these accounts that engaged with him and it very much seems that these guys are essentially just running an engagement farming scam. Just repeating meaningless buzzwords they dont even understand themselves. Providing no value while trying to draw in unsuspecting folks by circlejerking each other to boost their tweets.

To me they look like a bunch of opportunists that found a niche on Twitter they feel they can position themselves in.
Maybe one day get paid to shill like Bitboy, push their newsletter or sell a online course.

Theyre basically full of shit and funniest thing about that is that they know theyre full of shit😂. They say it openly. Heres a guy that calls himself "Web3 Savant".

Ironic isnt it? haha.
Its like youre trying to sell something that youre unwilling to buy yourself.

Live what you preach you colossal cunts! 😂

When I see this I just get flashbacks to the crypto youtubers crying over getting banned on youtube while theyre not even attempting to use decentralized platforms or help grow the space.
These are very much the same type of people. Only themselves on their mind.
Many of them arent even aware of what theyre doing or why theyre mockworthy so I really cant hate them. Theyre just dumbasses with egos so big they think they can be educators or gurus.

I dunno, this whole influencer thing is just absurd and silly. I mean theres probably people in there that are decent folks that just dont know better. Just repeating what they see themselves.

Some of us here on Hive have been living and breathing WEB3 for 5+ years and I can with certainty say that these gurus on Twitter can teach you nothing as they know nothing.

Just a few quick thoughts from me. 😉
Ill see you on, in and around WEB3.

It's the biggest irony of this space rn. They talk about web3 on a web2 platform trying to please the algorithm every fkn day.

The algo is their overlord.

And the platform is partial to people who hack the algo.

On hive, everyone is on a level playing field.

One day, they'll wake up and Web3 will be all around them but they'll be stuck in Web2 talking about Web3. Who will be listening then?

I guess the answer is "no one."

When they point to a Web2 platform to see their commentary on Web3, it's an easy 'Nah, bruh.'

Never took those people seriously who have #Web3 in bio posting on web2 and believe VC's are still developing web3 for everyone.

The same people talking about Web69... Like these guys can't be serious just farming Engagements on Bird 🐦 app.

I mean its fine posting on WEB2 if your goal is onboarding people to WEB3.
Its when its obvious that their goal is only selfpromotion, that they dont actually live what they preach, that makes them look silly.

Probably would be blaming WEB3.

Everyone want to sound woke on Twitter but sadly not all of them have something to offer.

Again a great post. Keep it up buddy.

You are absolutely right I have used Peter for a long time but I have not had any benefit since I came over this plate home and working hard I started bear my own expenses. Now that time is very valuable and if we get a profit from where we spend our time, it is a very good thing.
