I think that was his point. By "Internet Famous" he is not actually famous to the greater internet, but convincingly appears so.

Obviously if put to the test, the crack experts on the internet could see through his BS via Google, but the people you would try to leverage being internet famous with tend not to be internet savvy -- hence his point about the large multinational companies getting suckered into kred.

And it's convincing but not convincing?

I think you're being extremely generous by saying it would take an "expert" to see through his paper-thin facade.
