Respectfully disagree. I lurked for a while to learn the ropes, learned that I needed to download WoS and add it to my profile, *then* I posted my first note. DIY-minded folks are more likely to put in the work to learn. Some people are probably scamming you, but I suspect many are also getting purple pilled in person (a friend is looking over their shoulder, helping them get their profile set up).
Discussion
This person that promoted my post has numerous red flags, the npub was just seen by relays, meaning they aren't a lurker, and they're using the pics and videos of a popular 16 year old TikTok and Instagram user.
Agree, you're probably right in this case.
I'm not saying be wary of every single new person with a Lightning address. That would be horrible. We should all use caution and not immediately pounce! 🫂
