Merriam Webster defines con man as "a person who tricks other people in order to get their money : con artist"
Even if people were straight up wrong about their COVID-19 theories, I don't think many of the banned people were trying to get viewers to send them money.
> trying to get viewers to send them money.
They were trying to get viewers to get money. It's an important distinction.
We both know that ads and sponsorships are a significant way influencers monetize their viewers.
All they have to do is lie to attract eyeballs and they make money. E-begging isn't necessary, the platforms allow you to extract value from viewers at an incredible scale.
