Pennies? Some of them seem to be making hundreds of thousands if some of the other accusations are to be believed (I haven't looked into the amounts in much detail), but this sort of abuse is endemic. It's ICO campaigns fault for paying for such pointless rubbish. Paying people to tweet or post a Facebook status update are utterly useless when 99% of your friends or followers are fake or alts of your own. They don't give a shit though. Even if one real person see it and invests then that's money well spent for them. This is why this sort of abuse will never change because it costs ICOs little to nothing and they just need to desperately get their name out there as quickly as possible and they've got nothing to lose by trying this sort of spam advertising.
Honestly, I've never really stayed up to date with the bounties, and how much shares they are having, and what the price ended up being for each one. So, I'm a little bit ignorant to the true value behind them. I tend to only invest in things I actually think is worthwhile rather than quick rich schemes that are fueled by hype...and then crash with disappointment.
Look at my thread here
THE SCAMMER Guinness world record on bitcointalk 1 man 1000 accounts 150k+ usd!.
The accounts on this thread seems to be more accounts of this team, at the time they got over 150k $ usd, now they probably have a lot more.
