Crypto influencer hit with bot claims after nabbing ‘best content creator’ award
Crypto influencer “Professor Crypto” deleted posts of him celebrating the award shortly after being accused of using bots to boost his following.
A crypto influencer has yet to publicly respond to accusations he used bots to manipulate his social media metrics and influence shortly after winning a “best content creator” award at a crypto event.
The investigator known as “ZachXBT” accused the influencer who goes by “Professor Crypto” on X of using “thousands of bots” to “deceive people into thinking you have an influence.”
He also implied the action could breach a United States Federal Trade Commission rule that “prohibits anyone from selling or buying fake indicators of social media influence, such as followers or views generated by a bot or hijacked account.”
