Do you recognize this video? This is @ShannenJPEG.

She went viral making a video about how she used to be an angry blue haired feminist (her words) and now has done a complete 180 and decided to become an ultra tradewife. She’s now into crypto.

Shannen has discovered that jumping between polar opposite ideological communities and debunking the former as a sham is a brilliant engagement farming strategy, because the new crowd she caters her message to is so prone to liking and sharing her message.

Don’t believe me? Take a look at this. The first thing Shannen did after joining Twitter was targeting the HEX community.

I think @ShannenJPEG is fantastic. Her ability to sniff out cults and cater her message to desperate communities is phenomenal. She’s a bit of a savant.

Here’s the next thing she did: BSV.

Another excellent choice. No one accidentally stumbles onto the BSV community—it’s so dying and insignificant these days you have to be particularly looking for complete idiots that are easily manipulated to derive engagement from to find it.

What really takes the prize for me is that Shannen also considers the BTC community to be one that is easily gamed. Obviously is not genuine. If you fall down the BTC rabbit hole, you don’t and come away with the understanding that *each* of BTC, BSV and HEX are legit.

While she harvest followers from all 3 of HEX, BSV and BTC she also makes sure to drop a few thirst trap tweets just to rope in the average simp.

The reason I am typing all of this is because it reaffirms a problem with the BTC community I’ve noticed that I’ve been banging the drum on for months. There is a reason that Shannen picked these 3 communities:

- HEX
- BSV
- BTC

It’s because you can insta-speedrun each.

Link to original thread.

Bitcoiners, your community is being speedrun by grifters. ”Reformed altcoiners”, corporate shills. Yes, the problem exists in all of crypto. But Bitcoin used to be different. It’s not anymore.
