Ads are everywhere here. For the most part, the ads we have now are designed to be misleading. Advertisements disguised as helpful blog posts. Fake popularity. This stuff confuses the consumer and stalls the growth of the organic consumption, effectively removing any potential to earn billions through ad revenue like Youtube, in favor of a few thousand and selling pressure on the token. They produce their promotions, sell their tiny profit. If everyone did that, content producers would be forfeiting 90% and more of the entire reward pool, so they can buy followers on a platform that's going nowhere. This is a confused bunch and those selling the votes, offering the idea as "help", are not telling everyone the truth.
