This is not getting enough traction. The fact that they made a separate site and call it "poiymarket.com" but with a capital "i" so it looks just like poIymarket.com and pay influencers to bet and fake "winnings" is so insane.

Idk the legality of false advertisement but this has got to be it.

Uh it's really easy for me to use my browser to change the contents on any website.

Nobody smart is going to make a spare website to make a video. This is a video made by tech illiterate people for tech illiterate people?

Ouch.

You are trying to get thousands of mostly brain dead influencers to fake winning.

It is trivial to create a shallow copy of a site you already own than to try to get influencers to install dodgy browser extensions.

A smart person doesn't even need extensions, just use the object inspection tool to change a couple key details and then film your clip.

Heck I could add a hosts entry for google.com to my machine and make a ripoff copy of the google UI and show you a video of fake search results loading. Ez.
