The Plight of Crypto KOLs: Navigating Cyberbullying and Public Pressure

TL;DR;

Many KOLs and influencers in the crypto space are facing cyberbullying in comment sections. Sharing genuine thoughts and information should be seen as a valuable contribution to the public. KOLs' statements are often restricted by public opinion, as any ambiguity can be twisted. Influencers avoid calling out losses to not offend project teams and long position holders, and avoid calling out take profits to not be called FUD by those who didn't exit in time. Excessive promotion can be seen as manipulative. High traffic and increased followers can alter market makers' operations. The pressure of making incorrect calls can force KOLs to collude. Many end up sharing information in small, trusted circles to reduce pressure. The author appreciates individuals who openly share their genuine thoughts and insights, even if they are incorrect.
