How did a kid who ran away with money from a live-streaming token launch become a new top influencer?

When this kid, known as "Kid Bro," earned $30,000 from the tokens issued through pump.fun, he excitedly drooled during the live stream. Besides "yooo" and "wtf," Kid Bro couldn't find any other words to express his joy of the harvest.
There have been previous instances in the circle where "Kid Bro" successfully issued tokens or NFTs, but this time we encountered an "Evil Kid Bro." Shortly after launching the token named $QUANT during the live stream, "Evil Kid Bro" hit the sell button, directly rug-pulling everyone.
Additionally, he threw in two middle fingers, fully mocking everyone.
"Kid Bro" easily walked away with about 128 $SOL (around $30,000). However, "Kid Bro" was still too young; for the degens, the best response to those two middle fingers was a counterattack.
Thus, $QUANT began to rise, with its market cap once surpassing $100 million.
In other words, the portion of holdings that "Kid Bro" had was worth over $5 million at its peak. Everything has its cause and effect; the spectacle created by "Kid Bro" dumping the tokens became the fertilizer for the degens' celebration—if you don't sell, how can we pump it up?
However, shortly after "Kid Bro" rug-pulled, the angry degens conducted a thorough doxxing, bringing his entire family to pump.fun…
Nevertheless, the most notable member of "Kid Bro's family" was his pet dog, Lucy…
Lucy probably never imagined how a regular little dog could be worth a million dollars.
The angle provided by "Kid Bro" was amplified on Twitter through clips, once again perfectly illustrating the "attention economy." Even one of the world's top streamers, xqc, came across the "Kid Bro Rug" live stream clips on Twitter and remarked, "Who would put themselves in a position to be rug-pulled by a 10-year-old? This ecosystem is just garbage; why would you be surprised that such garbage exists?"
Of course, for the degens, how xqc critiqued it wasn't important; what mattered was that he critiqued it and provided an angle. Thus, the degens began to enthusiastically promote, "xqc has spoken! This is the world's top streamer! A large influx of funds is about to come in!"
Now, it's really just a gamble left, so let's get to it.
