I once had seen this freelance service in fiverr which made me really curious:
Lol. Is that 8.98 (euros?) per week/month/post? If that guy couldn't even include that sort of detail in his offer, you
know he's going to be a zero-effort shitposter.
Let’s change that to say 25 merits in 120 days, and I believe the amount of signature spam will drop by at least 30% - 50%.
I could get behind that 100%--but unfortunately I'm not a campaign manager or the owner of one. And as mentioned, the problem is that those slots have to be filled. Even with all the applicants that campaigns and bounties get, a lot of the best posters on the forum are already in campaigns and I'd say
most of the applicants are typical shitposters, so there's not a lot to differentiate between them.
But there was a declined of new bounty campaigns when Bitcoin plummeted to $30000. Recently, when Bitcoin started to sour in price right from $29000 till now, there has been many new bounty campaigns on this forum, even there was one today.
Yeah, I remember that period where bounties were at their lowest point (numbers-wise, I mean), and I'd hoped that they'd soon be extinct. Not to be, I guess. Lately it seems like some of the worst posts being made are ones by members wearing some DeFi or other token-related project in their signature space, which I assume is related to bounties and not bitcoin-paying signature campaigns. Bounty managers have no standards as a general rule, though there might be a few exceptions.
