People who spam post with an advertisement in their signature area are giving something of value (advertising) to the company they are advertising for. If the amount that posters (advertisers) are getting paid is not cost effective to the advertisers then advertisers will offer a lower payment for such advertisements, or withdraw offers to have them advertise at all. The fact that the price of BTC has gone up substantially in recent weeks means that a company who was considering to lower their advertising rates can do so while still maintaining as high of rates when measured in USD.
No one is forcing anyone to accept low BTC rates in exchange for advertising and if someone is offering low rates then you can ask for something higher or you can decline to advertise for those who offer low rates.
I doubt that in a week's time these companies have realized some direct impact of effectiveness on the advertising and cost benefit between how much business they bring in and how much they want to payout. These companies are ONLY worried about how much they'll be paying out in terms of fiat value, and they don't want to pay that much. It's smart from a business sense, but it doesn't make any of their campaign posters more loyal to their campaign.
It also hurts the bitcoin community/economy because it shows that the's companies are not committed to doing business in Bitcoin...they're still just focused on how much fiat they can get for their bitcoin.
I, too, have not cashed out my campaign earnings. I think of it only as bitcoin and I'm disappointed that I now need to work nearly twice as hard to earn the same bitcoin - particularly when recent publicity has probably brought more people to this forum to see the ads in my signature.
actually what hurts is greedy users who feel obligated to post trash post in order to gain as much BTC as possible. Another thing that hurts is users apparently like you who join a campaign and complain when rates are reduced but in reality they're still earning the same dollar value as before. They're just pissed cause in their minds they could have earned more.
At the end of the day anyone who is accepted into a campaign is getting a privilege. They shouldn't expect any site owner to bow down and kiss their asses. Owners allot a certain amount of money towards advertising. Whether they look at it in fiat or btc value doesn't matter. They have the right to change rates for the good or the bad at anytime. They're just looking at trying to spend the same amount of money per week/ month period.
Now if ya wanna get really crucial and have something to bitch about why don't ya go look at the ppl of bit-x secondstrade yobit and other spampaigns and and report 90% of the posts they make. They're shitposting idiots that deserve 0pay in most cases but managers use bots(not even doing their jobs) and allow these guys to be paid
