Shortly after winning the “best content creator” award at a crypto event, a crypto influencer who allegedly used bots to manipulate social media metrics has yet to respond publicly. The researcher known as “ZachXBT” claimed that “Professor Crypto” used thousands of bots to trick people into believing he had influence. It has been suggested that this action may violate the US Federal Trade Commission’s rule prohibiting the sale or purchase of fake social media influence indicators.
