How to Win Followers and Scamfluence People

As soon as Format Boy answers the phone, I recognize his booming voice. I’ve spent weeks immersed in the influencer’s back catalog of videos and voice notes. Format Boy isn’t like other influencers: He doesn’t show his face, and he won’t tell me his real name. He isn’t posting motivational content or seeking lucrative brand deals. Instead, he’s teaching his audience how to orchestrate high-paying online scams.

Format Boy—as he styles himself on YouTube, Telegram, Instagram, and X, where he has amassed thousands of followers and racked up hundreds of thousands of views—acts as an unofficial adviser to a collective of menacing West African fraudsters known as the Yahoo Boys.

Jetstream Notes

jetstream/main:Jetstream

  1. Entire server is wrapped in an Application from the CLI library.
  2. main.go/Jetstream is the main function.
  3. Fetches ws-url from configuration (this is for the firehose)
  4. Sets up NewServer (see Server in server.go)
  5. Sets up a single firehose consumer, with a callback reference to the Jetstream server handler Emit. Also provides the server with a reference to the consumer (circular reference?)
  6. Creates a new schedule via (bsky/parallel) with a call back for c.HandleStreamEvent
  7. Sets up a goroutine to handle the cursor saving (ever 5 seconds via ticker).
    • Includes listeners for shutdownCursorManager
  8. Sets up a liveness checker, shuts down the app if the firehose is no longer pushing new events.
