As Daniel's popularity increased, more and more people began to exploit his gullibility. Many of these trolls were inspired by the trolling of previous controversial Internet personalities, and wished to do to Daniel what the trolls of [https://sonichu.com/cwcki/Christian_Weston_Chandler Chris Chan,] or [[wikipedia:Terry_A._Davis|Terry A. Davis]] had done to them. In order to get Daniel's attention, trolls would often pose as [[Management|managers]] from well known record labels and prey upon his delusions of fame and fortune. Daniel would fall for their ruses almost every single time, which only served to exacerbate his untreated mental delusions. The constant trolling resulted in Daniel having very high levels of paranoia, which would lead him to further spiral into lunacy. | ||
