A scam involves deception. BitClout does not deceive users about how it works. Therefor, BitClout is not a scam.

  Isn’t creating profiles that are not real deceptive? Your details, pictures are used to create a profile. This is one aspect that comes to my mind being deceptive.

    No, the website makes it very clear that those are reserved, unclaimed profiles. They can also removed be removed on creator demand.

      I just went on the site. The 'top' profiles include usernames like `elonmusk`, `loganpaul` and `arianagrande`, next to an icon saying they're "waiting to join". This sounds like a lie right? Unless there's such demand for this site that Elon Musk and Ariana Grande are waiting in a queue to get in on the BitClout action?

        That sounds like you're reading "waiting to join" backwards?

        Exactly — “waiting to join” would be a lie if Elon Musk did not initiate intention to join the service. And Elon Musk does not wait in lines... It’s eye rolling deceitful marketing.

      “Reserved, unclaimed” is a classic dark pattern.
