We first explore how and why there's been a recent uptick in "anti-woke" personalities online and how Trump's presidency played a major role in setting the stage for catapulting these influencers into the mainstream. We then look at how they make money, how their business model differs from the more "traditional" scams we see from influencers, and finally, we will look at why scammers/grifters are so prevalent in the influencer space.
