Why do so many people follow YouTubers blindly despite evidence?

I used to watch bitboy crypto everyday. Took awhile to realize but eventually enough evidence presented itself to see it for what it was. Scams and Shills. No offense meant with those terms, buttboy. That's just what I know to call it. Now when I look at him I see an addict. I see someone who was so desperate to be right that he would say whatever he could and double down. He'd have outbursts on the show when people would take notice of his scheme. I guess I'm wondering how do him and so many others still hold the attention of so many people? Has enough evidence not been presented to the public? This is not a bash bitchboy thread. This is just the example closest to me. Thanks for your time.
