The Difference Between Top and Bottom Influencers
Accumulated quantitative changes inevitably lead to qualitative transformation.
No matter their character, top-tier influencers have no reason to cross into criminal territory. But bottom-feeders with only a few dozen followers? They're online all day, and when they finally catch someone willing to listen to them, what do they do? Is making ten or twenty bucks off you really worth it? So they'll inevitably try every trick to get close to you, build your trust, and eventually sell you your house, your land, your blood, and your kidneys.
There's no way around it—it's the volume that determines this. If they don't sell a few people's kidneys each year, they won't even make as much as a regular employee.
Once someone gets on this path, these bottom-tier influencers either settle for being worse off than beggars, or they go fully dark.
