This part is baffling. The story has always been that Logan has a young, impressionable audience. These are grown men with a bunch of disposable income, and they’re listening to the Logan Paul podcast and buying his crypto nonsense? Does not compute.

herd mentality is an incredibly strong force as well as social proof. Logan Paul is so big that those without critical thinking may think its a safe bet.

You should appreciate that the sort of critical thinking one might take for granted in a community such as this is arguably the exception in society as opposed to the rule.

This is just virtual musical chairs for a lot (most) of them. Also bunch of disposable income does not mean a person is not an idiot. This has been proven many many times.
