Promotion, promotion, promotion. They run TV-channels, they run fatwa-websites etc. But there are many non-Salafi who are famous, although in todays world the Salafis seem to have the upper hand in that. Either way, fame is not the criteria according to which we judge the reliability of a speaker.

Yep.

Remember that even the Salafis do not consider those famous shuyukh to be amongst their elite. But their ability to promote themselves (or have their followers do it for them) has allowed them to take the spotlight.
