Zora today removed a hacked @premierleague account that launched a scam token just hours before. Hundreds of people lost thousands $$$.
Zora's response? Complete silence from the platform and everyone connected to it.
This isn't an exception. This is the system.
Anyone can hack Zora and connect any Twitter account, scamming the audience. The platform won't fight for you, nobody cares - because occasionally there are successful cases worth pushing for PR.
Case 1 (December 2024):
@TysonFury (fake, hacked) - token - losses - removal - silence
Case 2 (April 2024):
The Real Nomics (top creator on platform, $50M ATH) - conflict with fake account - ban with zero explanation - collapse
Case 3 (Today):
@premierleague - $2.1M token cap - removal - silence
Plus countless other cases where they re-created tokens and no one gave a fuck.
Here's the Premier League account that launched today: https://t.co/87CoRGneeP

Zora doesn't respond because the answer is obvious: it benefits the platform.
Every scam token = volume, activity, fees.
Successful token = PR for Zora and Base.
Failed one = delete and shut up.
What about the actual users? Sorry, that was your risk. Welcome to Web3.
There's the tokenization and community work that @zora and @base keep talking about. Thanks for the tech @js_horne and @jessepollak
It's a shame that all this is being implemented in @baseapp and actively promoted.
