Why can't some 'recommendations' be justified with 'profits and losses are your own responsibility' and are instead just flimsy excuses? Because your profits come from your 'recommendation.' In the crypto space, many shills aren't genuinely recommending anything. Genuine recommendations come with normal risks of profit and loss—no one is a god. But the main goal of many shills is to gain liquidity and earn ad revenue. Moreover, many people think this is legitimate income. In reality, this is illegal, not just a moral issue.
