Because for many people, learning in that way with video is much easier than reading a perspective. So in some ways, it's really good. And even for me, when I wanna learn about something, obviously in the financial realm that I don't know, I will go to YouTube first, and then I will go and try to get information or a book or do research in many different ways.

The bad thing is that they think they are authorities and people believe they are authorities. And a lot of times it's just their opinion or even worse, they're getting paid to tell you something. And so one area that I know that a lot of people got is, that lost money was the NFT market, which was a derivative of the crypto market was this NFT craze.

And people saw influencers like Jake Paul and a lot of these, or Logan Paul, I can't remember, one of the Pauls, that created these NFTs and they said that they would do these certain things. There's other ones out there that have done this too. There's hundreds, probably thousands. And a lot of times they were getting paid either to create that product or promote that product.

And there was really nothing behind it. And a lot of people took their word at face value. The big thing about when you're getting into investing or you're doing any kind of money, you gotta spend some time and do research and check different sources. The problem today is that people will, if they like an influencer the way that they talk, they'll take their word for it.

And unfortunately, the algorithms of these social media, it's not based on who's giving you the best information or someone that's the most credible information. it could be either that they paid to get in front of you, number one, or two, they could have just presented the video in a way that is the most appealing to people.

And so the problem is that people, and they've done studies about this, and they've done it on Google too, is that people think the things that pop up on social media or on Google searches, they think that those are the authorities. And actually, it's just based on the algorithm of that social media platform.

So you may watch a video about Bitcoin from a person that just made the most appealing video and maybe isn't the most knowledgeable on the subject. So it's like what we used to do when we used to do research is that you want to check multiple sources. getting information from one place and then trying to back check it in multiple other places.

If people did that, I think they'd be in a much better place. But unfortunately, people do see these influencers and they take it on face value. When we advertise with influencers, we really tell people to do their research on us and do the research on precious metals too.

And that's why we send them so much education because ultimately I want people to make an educated decision before they buy from us. It's important that they do that because it's a long-term relationship. I know that if someone acquires Specialist Metals from us, they may be our client for the next 10 or 15 or 20 years.

So I want them to know that they made an educated decision, that they did their research. So it's important that people take that extra step and they take that time and they do the research on the company that we tell people, check out our reviews. go to the BBB, go to Google, check us out.
