The whole "influencer" space, monitisation of content and spruiking etc is becoming very interesting. Probably been going on since the dawn of man - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2iiPpcwfCA
My wife is "amazed" at how influencers she watches in South Carolina, Italy and the UK all end up waxing lyrical about the same eye shadow, lip gloss and robot vacuum clearner.
But we, the human and particuarly the man are all to blame.
Engage male human brain function and divide into the 99% and 1%.
I had to create a table and take a picture for the rest becasue I don't know how to make a table in a reply.

I think these personal little jibes and stuff reflect poorly on everyone involved. All seems a bit juvenile even, and that's coming from me!PapaShango wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 6:42 amDoes seem to be a lot of these threads popping up all of a sudden. I think we all get the idea now, it’s starting to look a bit desperate on all sides.
But that's tribalism and fanboyism in a nutshell, even in the vendor business apparently, it's as if software itself defines your trading ability.
I've deliberately tried to stay out of it and actively encourage others to do so as I don't think it does anybody any favours. But the insults and underhand nature of competitors continue unchecked, even after over a decade of trying to ignore it.
It's bound to reach the point at which it's getting up the noses of people on here included me.

It's interesting but makes your stomach turn at the same time when abused. For example, we apparently have a local Youtube influencer with 600k+ subs, which I think is more than all of the trading channels combined, and he's using that platform in typical "ez money" clickbait fashion to sell trading video packs of beginner football strategies to clueless casual punters.
But the point is, even that can't be directly labeled as an outright scam, because it falls under that annoying grey area, like the whole industry.
And with the overall liquidity slowly dwindling, maybe at this point any traffic that the exchange gets via various influencers should be tolerated, provided those people aren't complete frauds or involved in outright scams.

I have given encouragement to many (we all need fish in the pond) and yet this clip from the guidance has it plain.

This is a zero sum game
Gentlemen, welcome to Fight Club
The first rule of Fight Club is, we do not talk about Fight Club (Fight Club, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC1yHLp9bWA)
Even if we rarely talk about it, the simple fact is you are trying to take my money and I am trying to take yours. I'm a millionaire, that's the difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h5PrrVt34Mw
And no matter what, Betfair is creaming off the rake. Just as quickly we calculated 2% of the pot and had taken if off the table https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccunmtqqRV0
So, if that is the case, where do you find your edge?

Well Kai, not to begin with. I genuinely didn't really know about CB until I posted in here. It was just a shock seeing him promote Beth.bet. However, OP now means Genuine Classic Hatchet Job
I work at a quantitative hedge fund (as a software developer on bit that talks to the markets). I would say that what ML is and isn't is a blurry line. ML largely amounts to applying clever statistical analysis to things, but much of what a financial firm will do using statistical analysis wouldn't be called ML, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_arbitrage
So I'd definitely take any 'AI' marketing with a pinch of salt, it doesn't however mean it isn't effective. Result are what counts at the end of the day...

I've never bought into any of that snake oil - is it suitable lubrication for the cutting wheels on my shedder?Dallas wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 6:09 pmIn a nut shell he's now best known just as a social media brand influencer and seen as being on a similar level as another active snake oil salesman who goes by the name of a furry animal - the days of him being active and creditable trader (on any reasonable level) are long in the distant past
