They buy up every YouTuber who has any amount of followers. It's a predatory app designed to squeeze people with addictive personalities out of all their their money. So it makes sense that they spray their shit everywhere. For every 10k they spend on advertising, they only need to hook 2 or 3 whales in order to make back their money.
Watching that happen in the Diablo game was eye opening. I grinded for hours because I enjoyed the game, then joined the top clan, we controlled our server. Then I was kicked out because my gear wasn't expensive enough. I had the hours and game knowledge, but wasn't spending $200-$2,000 a month to keep up.
I had no idea people actually dropped that kind of money on Mobile games until then. I thought those were rare, but no, 90+ people were trying to shame me into spending with them. That was on one server.
Dude.... I am SO sorry about that. Nobody liked the post anyway, I shouldn't have let it just sit and stew there! My bad.
