You seem to be forgetting that The Dollar Vigilante has over 13,000 Twitter followers; almost 50,000 YouTube subscribers (his 2-day-old YouTube video about Steemit has almost 13,000 views). He has 5,000 Facebook friends and 8,000 followers. The Dollar Vigilante Facebook page has 38,500 fans. The Anarchast Facebook page has 11,000 fans.

A majority of these people are a very targeted audience from within the business, financial, investment, anarchist, libertarian, bitcoin, and cryptocurrency communities.

So yeah, he has a very good mass marketing network of very specific targeted niche followers, which took him years to build. That's why he's more successful than the person with 50 Facebook friends, half of whom are their distant aunts and cousins they only met twice in their life that live on the other side of the country, who only check Facebook twice a month.

The same arguments against TDV can be hurled at any other social media influencer who has a large following, because Jeff is not the only one who is getting his posts bumped to the top. This isn't me trying to side with anybody, but just objectively looking at the truth.

This is not any different than any other "celebrity" with a large social media following plugging a product, and getting impressive results because of their reach. You better hope Kim Kardashian never jumps on here, because your head might explode.
