INFLOOENCERS
People who spread news and educate for free === good for bitcoin
People who inform/educate while reading ads === inflooencor
Ads are mind viruses. They prey on people's appeal to authority (a logical fallacy). If a product actually fills a NEED it does not need marketing. It will be found and if its useful, naturally will tell others about it. If your product cant scale thru word of mouth, its probably an inferior or not-needed (high time preference) product. A simple heuristic that has severed me well, anytime you are fed a paid endorsement, boycott that product and brand immediately and forever.
Also people who inform/educate and charge you a fee/paywall === infloorncor
Information wants to be free. By holding information for ransom, you create the illusion of scarcity. As if what you have to say is more valuable because YOU said it. This behavior is deeply rooted in egoism. It creates Inflooencors.
i read something along the lines of 'all your heroes will let you down" around the time i first got into bitcoin, ever since that phrase couldn't have aged better
So many I initially looked up to, 90% at least have lost that respect over time

sounds a lot like growing up.
as a child, you look up to all these adults adulting around and you think "wow, they must really know their stuff". then you grow up and realize no one has any idea what they are doing, lol

Yes, every respectable figure must resist the temptation to monetize (leech from) their audience. The temptation is stronger the larger the audience.

When I first got into the space I was listening to Pomp and Raoul Pal. Kill me.

You've obviously never tried to run a business. It does not matter how perfectly your product fills a NEED if nobody knows about it.
I hate "ads" as much as the next guy but the term "marketing" is really just answering the question, how are people who have the NEED going to find the product.

In the information age, its very easy to be discovered. The people who need it most are aware of the problem and looking for solutions. They will search and find you if you have decent SEO, or you are listed in the top catalogs/places people search.
Customers will make their own ads for your product (sharing their positive experience on social media, etc.)
Agree that some products need ads to make people buy them. But, I'd rather not sell those kinds of products.
