Rating sites for confidence?

Rating sites should not be trusted, it is better to analyze the ico project yourself (if you know how to do it).

I totally agree with you. Rating sites are not to be trusted. These can easily be manipulated and mislead investors. One such example, is TripAdvisor, with many fake reviews.

It is not good to completely believe on the rating websites because of some ICO listing websites are charging for a higher rating, so we need to research ourselves before investing or working for bounty. Before investing not only about rating we need to look at how potential the project is going to after the crowdsale.

just looking at sites:
https://icobench.com
https://icorating.com
https://icomarks.com
as a reference to find out how far the project is running and see the rating.

Yes, the above-mentioned websites are very good for references because ICObench is giving a very good rating for the project which has huge potential in terms activity and team role in the project. We should not consider every project but we have to consider most rating projects.

Not at all. Its never been a good preference for you to rely on these rating sites.I dont know if you are aware on current issues with these rating sites or not
buti would tell you this that most of them can potentially be paid up to list out or sponsored or recommend a certain project neither a shit one it doesnt matter.
So, you would still end up on getting a good preference for long term since you would end up on a shitty project.

I think much better to make our own research and not to rely to some ICO raters. Yes ICO raters can help us to decide when and where we can invest but much better to make own research and study than to always rely to what ICO raters said to every project.

ICO raters such as icobench or icodrops only make  "our" research become easier. I agree if we shouldn't rely and trust 100% from their rating, but we can use it and we don't need waste too much time to analyze which good ICOs.

Rating sites about projects may attract investors to invest in such projects with high ratings.
But these rating sites are not financial advisors in the first place so it's not a good idea to trust what you saw.
Investigation should always be done first and check whether a that project is good or not.
