I understand you’re a student trying to make extra money and I can appreciate that. There are lots of online ways to make money besides this forum. Those Twitter and Facebook campaigns are hurting bitcoin because they are making those companies stop allowing crypto advertising.
I see that you have tried to be helpful (and were rewarded for it). That’s a good thing and you should continue that effort. It makes you feel good to know you’ve helped someone even if there is no immediate reward. Unfortunately, in your case the bad outweighs the good by several magnitudes. I’m sorry but I can’t help you. Thanks for stopping by.
I generally don't think that these bounties hurt bitcoin or the forum.
Because you miss the ads? Hope you are kidding.
Bounties bring way more people into crypto than you might think.
It’s a win-win situation for both the startup company and their audience. Sorry but I can't see your problem here.
Also the signature campaigns are in general a good thing.
Just think about it: There are strict rules to follow, like e.g. make 10 constructive posts with min 100 char.
So the people try to make high quality content and also help each other.
It is human nature that you want to rise in rank if that is possible.
To me it looks like you only support bitcoin. If you would close the Altcoin Section in this Forum and ban bounty campaigns I guarantee that it will be very quiet here.
I already met a lot of people in this forum, who only support bitcoin and nothing else. Better take a step back and see the big picture.
The Blockchain is here to stay and that includes not only bitcoin.
Of course >90% of these projects which pop up daily, won't survive the next five years but I can easily name you 10 current projects with a real world use case, which could be a big success.
No problem if you don't want to give me Merit, I am here anyways. Just wanted to give it a try.
But don't tell me that the Bad outweights the Good (by several magnitudes) only because of my twitter report posts.
I am maybe 1 Miner out of 10 in my local board who is regularly helping beginners getting started. I be part in daily discussions and already contributed a lot of quality content.
Don't point the finger at me only because of some twitter bounties.
Anyway have a nice day.
