there's always a limit to "morally right" "education". the other side is using their own 'shady' media channels ('youtube influencers') to advertise their shady product.

how would you counter that?

So your logic is that because scammers use dishonest tactics to market their scams, it should be OK for the Polish central bank to use the same shady, dishonest tactics? The whole reason scammers are willing to use those tactics is because they're swindling people. It's one of the signs they're up to no good. If they're going to act like scammers, maybe we should treat them like scammers.
