Fake Influencers .:. WorkerBee PH-Pool Week 246

Before the title brings some confusion, let me clarify it... By "fake influencers," I didn't mean those people who pretend to be one by pumping fake views on their content, or shilling only the tokens which they own and want to dump... I think of those who impersonate others, and try to scam people... Maybe you witnessed something similar to this that I will share, but it was one of my first encounters... After seeing that, the future looks very uncertain...

I remember the time when some of my teenage idol-actors died... As I was into computers from an early age, I knew that there would come a moment when we would have new movies featuring actors from the 50s, 60s, or even 100 years ago. Imagine Charlie Chaplin again on the big screen, or Audrey Hepburn, or some other famous actor! Well, I thought this tech would arrive sooner, but what's happening nowadays with AI? Something like that is closer than ever! But, first, we have to be scammed... lol...

I don't know, but it's so annoying to see new things that have been used maliciously... If something can be used wrong, it WILL BE used by some people... What I mention about actors is something that will probably need some additional resources, but we can already see some examples... And I will show you one, just to make you AWARE what kind of things ALREADY exist and can be made relatively cheap, with not even too much knowledge!

When I search for some crypto information, I do use YouTube, as some of my favorite content creators are there... One of them is KryptoCove, who shares information about the newest crypto airdrop "faming" information... He researches projects, coins, blockchains, and picks those who are worth the hustle... (not paid advertisement... lol)

While I was searching for a term on YouTube, one of the results was a YouTube video with his face on a thumbnail... As I recognized him, I clicked to check the video out... It wasn't on his channel, but recently, many YouTubers created a second (or third) channel to share a different type of content, for example... The video started, and he was talking about some airdrop, but something was a bit weird about it... I checked the comment section; it was "too positive" and too "bot-like"... After that, I checked the links in the description, which confirmed my assumptions... It was full of phishing links! The whole channel was fake!

It wasn't some high-tech production, but it could be done by an ordinary person... So, if you aren't an experienced video editor, you could create a similar video with yourself, and make it a genuine video... Which means, you COULD believe that this is a real channel, with a real person... Before YouTube bans this channel, I'm not sure I should share a video, but for EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES, you can check one of them here... Remember... DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINKS FROM THAT VIDEO! Those are phishing websites!

Like I said, this is not some high-tech video, but it shows the POTENTIAL and possibilities of what can be done with an "amateur" knowledge of AI... Be aware of these things, and RE-CHECK everything 2-3 times before clicking any links!!!

Let's see the WorkerBee Pool numbers for this week...

This week, we have mined 93 BEE tokens in total, 10 fewer than the week before...

This week, we didn't get new delegators, but we got new delegations from old members, as usual! Thanks, guys! Appreciate your support!

This POOL doesn't have fees, and you get up to 20% MORE by delegating to it!

What about the bonus tokens?

I'm one of the co-owners of the @Liotes project, and we are proud to say that we stick to our tokenomics from the very beginning of it... Running strong for many years, and our tokens perform exactly as predicted... They were designed to go up in value, but it can indeed be boring sometimes... The LEN tokens had it's ups and downs, but not that hard ones like some other Hive-Engine tokens... On the other side, the LEN token is one of the few that didn't lose value, or went to zero... Hopefully, it will continue like that, and we will do our best to bring value to it...

There will be distributed 68 LEN tokens to the delegators of the pool as a bonus reward today!

68 LEN tokens will be distributed as a bonus... The APR (without the bonus) was 12.842%, and when we added the bonus, it went up to 15.412%!

I have calculated the ROI approximately with medium prices for all tokens when creating this post... So, those numbers are valid if you bought WB and sold BEE tokens at the middle HiveEngine price...

Do you want to sponsor the PH-Pool with your tokens, receive a short SPONSORED segment in this post, and raise awareness about your front-end or dApp? Please let me know in the comment section, or contact me through Discord or Twitter, and we will find the best solution for both parties...

If you want to join the WorkerBee PH-Pool, the only thing that you have to do is to STAKE tokens to YOUR account and DELEGATE your staked WORKERBEE tokens to THIS account (Hive account@ph1102)! Every week, you will get your portion of mined BEE tokens and BONUS rewards!
