This already happened. FTX was paying out lots of money to YouTube finance influencers for promotion. There is some public push back on some of the bigger influencers right now for their role in encouraging people to sign up with FTX, Graham Stephan, Meet Kevin, Andrei Jikh, Jeremy Financial Education are among 4 of the biggest names in this space.
