The year is 2027. That influencer you used to follow with a few nice watches, a couple leather jackets and exotic pet birds has completely moved on from trading. All his income came from ref links, and those couple times he got lucky and won a trade are long forgotten.
Now he has a family. Real responsibilities. His wife told him if he doesn't stop playing his little internet games, she'll leave him for good. He still has some money, but nowhere near the millionaire status he once claimed. Yet he has to keep up the persona. So he re-emerges as a lifestyle influencer.
By now, he's living in another country. Since everyone in his home country discovered he's a scammer, he has no friends there anymore. Frankly he's not welcome back into most circles that used to welcome him.
Old colleagues of his meet up with him at public events, and call him out. He loses even more respect and his notoriety is completely gone. The same events that used to welcome him now laugh at his applications to join.
That's why his feed is becoming more vitriolic and he is angrier and more bitter as the days pass. With each passing post, more of his audience disappears. It's now shrinking rapidly, and he's plunging into the obscurity phase.
Since his public chat group failed long ago after everyone complained and called him out, his options are limited. He starts making even worse investment decisions out of desperation to try and recoup some relevancy. But now his wife is halfway out the door. Even she has had enough.
His dreams of owning a yacht and hobnobbing with billionaires have faded away. They want nothing to do with him beause they all know he's as fake as a $3 bill. Even worse, they know how many people he's taken advantage of.
Everyone that used to work for him speaks poorly of him, and a person of his reputation would have difficulty getting a job as a clerk at the local market.
All his referral schemes have dried up, and no one in the space wants anything to do with a partnership or collab. Only things he can promote are memes and garbage that goes to zero. Even then, his account is completely dead with almost zero interactions left.
What is the end of this man? Oftentimes people like him end up in total ruin. A wasted life with nothing to show for it. Perhaps two or three failed marriages if he is so lucky. But in the end he winds up alone, after all his pursuits have failed.
If you're reading this and you're struck by it, you're probably that influencer. You've got everything you deserve, but unfortunately it gets way worse for you from here. The only way out is to change everything. Start over. Publicly apologize to all the people you've wronged and taken advantage of. Put on a clean set of clothes and walk out the door a new man.
But will you do it? I'll give you a solid 1% chance. That's better than most.
