Be careful of the influencers you follow on social media like twitter. There was one who was exposed recently of photoshopping his trades to fool his followers and get more subscribers to his paid group. He said he did that to make the images look better hehe. Please follow this thread https://twitter.com/Trapouts/status/1238598898559488000

Cointelegraph also covered the story https://cointelegraph.com/news/crypto-analyst-accused-of-photoshopping-trade-screenshots.

There will always be scammers who will take advantage of people's ignorance. Let's prevent that from happening to us by learning how to read charts on our own and not solely rely on free and paid signals from random people on the internet.

I don't let celebrities manipulate my trades anyway. It is just like those who endorse products in commercials, and it doesn't make any product even more better to its quality just because someone promoted it in TV.

I do not know who those people are, but I would advise people to stay away in these popular platforms when looking for crypto news or any inspiration to those who succeed. Not even a Report button would help purge those who spread fake contents anyway. Many people post random referrals out there and it isn't that regulated immediately especially in Facebook wherein I receive random giveaway links but turned out to be terminated by the Support Team 2 days later.
