Without seeing what you've seen, that honestly sounds more like a symptom of the platform, current internet trends, and algorithm gaming than it sounds like a cheesy viral marketing campaign
Or just excitement at getting "exclusive" early access as a small streamer. If you don't know there are thousands of others, it'd feel like an opportunity to make it big.

Money well spent: Grummz got told the fuck off on twitter lol

A shill doesn't disclose that they're being paid to promote a product. The secrecy is what makes them a shill
Well I've certainly never heard that before and that's not what the definition of the word is from what I'm seeing but I guess I can understand using that as a distinction.

Generally speaking, algorithms on these sites don’t serve me a ton of videos with no views from creators with no followers, en masse.

I think everything you quoted there would accurately describe influencers being hey to play a game. As to whether you believe me or not, don't really care. Why you keep digging this hole for no reason whatsoever seems rather odd to me. Have a good one.

Really good games flopped before because they weren't marketed well. Marketing is budgeted for productions of any size, and influencer marketing in general is very effective for something like videogames. Larger amounts were spent on TV ads, or printing campaigns.
I agree! I mean why would coke still produce ads if they weren't working. Everyone knows about coke, but they still have ads everywhere

So marketing? What's the problem here? Should they have spent it advertising on radio?
