I don't know about outright crypto scamming (unless you consider working for coinbase to be crypto scamming), but I got the impression they're just trend chasers more than anything. They're into a branch of "software dev" youtube that has grossed me out for a while, where it's just promoting software development as an aesthetic. They relentlessly force buzzwords like "startup," "software engineer," "quit my job," and giant salary numbers into video titles and thumbnails. They do "day in the life of a software engineer" video that's usually just showing off the cushy lifestlye, and explaining something like a gRPC call in a way that makes it sound way more complicated than it is. I scrolled the guy's YouTube channel and seemingly he quits 6-figure jobs every few months if his video titles are telling the truth.
His original tweet was using the exact same tactics as his video titling with bold words shouting "I QUIT MY $270,000/YEAR JOB AT TRENDY TECH COMPANY" that I think a lot of people outside of aspiring first-year CS students aren't falling for after we've been exposed to so much BS grifting out of silicon valley the past decade+.

I do. I don't believe anyone working in the crypto industry is anything other than a sociopath or incredibly naive. They clearly are not naive since they are pumping their own product with deliberate and IMO false intent. How many times do we have to watch bad actors with their hands in the cookie jar before its a pattern?

Yet here they are still getting money. The real downer is that every one of these people are draining limited money that could have gone to someone genuinely trying to do something.
