I understand your POV and made sure to state it in the post, but it's not as simple as you make it seem. Yes the buck ultimately stops with the would be investor but the science behind advertising and promotions can't be ignored, the crypto community is riddled with, for want of a better term "noobs"; so they seek knowledge and advice from seemingly credible sources only to be manipulated, think of it as being new to a city and dont know where to grad a bite to eat, while walking you come across two burger stands, one has a long line of customers the other has none, there is a 99.9% chance you will automatically go to the stand with the long line without doing any research yourself that huge following became a source of validity and swayed your decision
