>>11412blogpost warning, skip to <BLOGPOST END> or <TLDR>
i made a token on ETH back in 2020, put up some threads on /biz/, got a bit of attention, brought enough people into a telegram channel for me to make a discord and twitter (twitter was removed later, that site is cancer) and start a little community
that's how it should have worked
at some point in late 2021, i made a new token and migrated everyone to it, and then all of my threads started getting nuked and i started catching bans for "advertising". this was done extremely aggressively
i eventually gave up and just bought ads and that was very meh because most people just use adblockers
in the last year, i did all that again (sort of a theme for me to restart but bring everyone along) and the newest token was absurdly successful
<BLOGPOST END>i then started to get direct messages on telegram from someone who wanted to make me a deal: i pay them a flat fee per month (a huge amount for a hobbyist, i think they wanted $500 per month or more), and they will not only allow my threads to exist on /biz/, but they will post on those threads to make it seem like there's genuine activity (they basically spend all day posting and trying to figure how to make posts that seem legitimate. i think they were the "most legitimate seeming", and this was due to them not being a classic "organization and psyop" but unfortunately they went too far the other way and were a den of depraved faggots), shill it on other social media, etc.
they had a private telegram channel for coordinating this.
i'm a retard and a schizo, so i didn't save proof of any of this, and what i did instead was immediately notice that their private telegram channel was full of the most absurdly degenerate trash i've ever seen in one place. think the worst of the worst of gooners and "bbc" spammers and trannies, probably the people responsible for all that sort of spam on 4chan and elsewhere on the internet, all in that private telegram channel
<TLDR>there's a private telegram channel full of bbc-posters, trannies, gooners, and absolute degenerates who charge $500 a month to people who have tokens and these same people infest the posters, janitors, and mods of 4chan. if you pay them, they won't ban threads about your token, and they will generate activity on 4chan and elsewhere about your token. can't prove anything or recall the name because when i saw the kind of disgusting garbage they were posting casually i insta-blocked all of them for being giga-faggots
