It's the curse of influencers and it's not specific to crypto. Influencers identify a vibe that works with their followers and lean into it, exploiting it for views and shares. Most of the time the vibe is only tangentially related to a much more complicated reality. But complicated reality is boring and vibes are fun, so influencers convince their followers that the vibe is true and the followers become galvanized along the vibe.
I've seen so many people quote a Youtuber as their source for a belief that it's crazy. Even when the primary sources are available. But that's the age we live in.
