ZachXBT Accuses Crypto KOL Professor Crypto of Using Bots to Manipulate Social Media Metrics and Influence
Professor Crypto, a cryptocurrency influencer, has not yet publicly responded to allegations of manipulating his social media metrics and influence using bots, shortly after receiving the "Best Content Creator" award. On-chain detective ZachXBT accused him of using "thousands of bots" to "deceive people into thinking you have influence." He also suggested that this may violate a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) rule that "prohibits anyone from selling or buying fake social media influence metrics, like fans or views generated by bots or hijacked accounts." Professor Crypto has not publicly responded to the accusations but has deleted several posts showing him receiving the "Best Content Creator" award at the DeGen Summit in Singapore on September 17th.
