Video Reviews, ICO mailers, Listing websites, Telegram Groups, Can you trust them?

Before expressing my opinion about this I would like to mention that the statement made by me is not regarding any particular blogger, vlogger or a listing website. These are all my individual opinions.

Coming back to our topic. I strongly believe that

Most of the ICO reviews made by vloggers on youtube, bloggers on websites, ICO review websites and Telegram channels and groups created by so called “Gurus” have absolutely no value associated with them, are “useless”.

Here is why I think these reviews mislead people more than they help:

They are all paid reviews

The fact that most of the reviewers take money from the company to write about them makes the first point. Why would you write bad about somebody who is paying you to write. That would be best idea to close your shop, isn’t it? :-) lol!. They get money to attract people to make an investment. It’s their job or business model and if they have to be successful they have to deliver well on that.

A good article or a video is the one which brings more people to buy the product

Think about this, A good review article or a youtube video has nothing to do with the success of the product. Usually, Success of the product will come long after you had watched the video and most of the time when you will see the result of your investment you would have forgotten the research you did to figure out if the ICO was good or bad. But, If the video or that content is not entertaining or engaging enough you would not like it which would mean less business to the paying party. To summarise, Reviews are 100% focused towards engagement rather than success of the product.

Have you ever seem a player who represent his country for football as well as Rugby?
Most of the reviewers will speak and write about every industry, product originating from every country, product using every technology and with the token economics as difficult to understand that a qualified economist will struggle. I mean, They say and write those things for which even Warren Buffet would have said “I don’t know” :-) but these guys know everything ( I don’t know why I am thinking about my wife while writing this content :-)).

They should be themselves made billions by now

Can you imagine a person knowing so much about the whole business field that he has a following of 10,000 or 100,000 people and not making billions. I mean, He is like the person who touches anything and that turns out to be gold, Isn’t it?. Don’t get me wrong, They make very good money from the companies who want them to attract traffic for their websites. The point is, A person who is super expert of a segment like “blockchain ICO” (It’s true that many ICOs have given more than 100,000X returns) must have invested his $500 into those 100s of successful ICOs, right? :-). Somehow, That’s not the case and they keep on freelancing or working for very big marketing companies.

So, To whom should you listen? Who can give you the correct information? How can you trust that information?

I will share my thoughts about it shortly. If I am thinking on correct lines or saying something completely incorrect, I would let you to decide.

In the meantime, Please checkout our ICO at www.talenthon.io, We are a very genuine team based out of UK trying to disrupt an industry which is desperately looking for change with a unique vision. Invest if you like the whole business proposition.

You post is very reasonable, but this advirtisment in the end of it makes me unsure about your true motives. Please, delete it and it would be great article for newbies.

ICO assessments only give me valuable reference before deciding. I believe in more research, reasoning and decisions of myself.
Their reference including the reviews aswell and giving a score rating based on various reasons whether it's objective or subjective but just not quite reliable.
As you said, it's better to make an observation based on our own rather than relying to stranger.

In any case, the analysis of ico companies requires not only more time, but also a lot of effort, and you need to use large amounts of data. The analysis consists not only in the study of technical documentation, but also in the verification of each member of the project team. If a person does not possess certain experience for this, then in any case he will rely on the results of research of other people or on information of rating resources.

I still trust them but not 100% it can still be a reference for you to choosing the ICO you are investing in. Some of the ICO reviews site do take money but they cannot be giving money to a few reviews site maybe one or two so you can cross reference or through sites like YouTube is also a good avenue for your cross referencing.

Giving our trust into any ICO project is depend in our decisions. If we do make some research properly about the project,
where in the end we find out it is good or has a potentials to give us profit and has a capability to make it happen, of course
we will decide to partake on it and support through promoting their project as well.

I do not really trust such resources that put an assessment of certain ICO projects. But sometimes I consider their opinion when choosing a project. But other than that, I'm evaluating the project myself. Study site, white paper, team, advisers and vast

 Smiley Well, I often look at YouTube ICO reviews. A convenient way to find out the minimum information about the project. You need to search only those blogs where they make a qualitative analysis. It helps to navigate faster.

Don't rely on ico reviews to much, most of them are taking money to write reviews. ICO bench, one of the biggest ico rating site got their experts catch in taking money for giving high ratting to ico, better do own review of project because speaking off investment in ico no one is really an expert.

Most of them is paid to shill the project and it's rare to find some review that are not biased so if you want to read an ico review you should have your own view of the project and treat the review as additional information. Personally i don't use ico review that much because they don't highlight the point which i considered important for a project.

Most of the reviewers will speak and write about every industry, product originating from every country, product using every technology and with the token economics as difficult to understand that a qualified economist will struggle. I mean, They say and write those things for which even Warren Buffet would have said “I don’t know” :-) but these guys know everything ( I don’t know why I am thinking about my wife while writing this content :-)).

Can you imagine a person knowing so much about the whole business field that he has a following of 10,000 or 100,000 people and not making billions.

I even saw the case, when one single team was trying to kill all the competitors by posting negative reviews about that. I am not sure that such strategy paid off.

honestly, for the time being I still believe in ICO reviewers, and see some recommendations from them, but seeing a lot of ICOs that have fallen lately, this makes me a little scared and pauses to believe in ICO, enough to be a bounty hunter

It is pretty easy to define whih review is genuine and which is fake, so I still use ICO rating websites to find good solutions for the investment in long term run.

It depends on information resource .. If it's coinscedule or token data it's okay. Sometimes I believe in icodrops and icibazaar.. because there I saw many true evaluations of projects.

If these reviews are not made by bounty hunters than yes. Because bounty hunters are not allowed to write any negative things about the project, so be advised and look if the article was written by a third party person.

Although I can't say that they are all paid, users like tvpluss have ICOreviews sites and so far they have been very reliable, there are also sites like ICOdrops that I use regularly and still maintain the same transparency, but those are the only two sites I'm guided by, certainly the others don't give me much confidence.

I don't trust that much when it comes to ico rating sites etc. But what make decide to participate in a particular ico is the number of people supporting the project, for example the number of page likes in their social media channels.

reviews of realistic and what it is I think it's just nonsense. What is the rating on many sites naturally flavored with how big the project is able to pay. It is evident from many of the ICO and not yet not provided an overview and assessment as in fact there are. This certainly makes the trust becomes bad and only a personal analysis that can be trusted.
