95% of Bounties Are Bullshit For Everyone Involved

[Barinerro]

Of course all subscribers are wound up in all social networks, I also agree here and I do not know how much it benefits . and why their put a in bounty

[judeafante]

They should allocate more on article and blog campaign because it's the one that is too time-consuming and can fully explain what the ICO is all about, another campaign that should have more allocation is the signature campaign because of this forum has a lot of investors visitors.

To participate in any bounty, a bounty hunter need at least Jr.Member rank- this rule can be imposed in every bounty then bounty hunters will be aware about rules and regulations. But present market situation is so bad that most of the bounties don't pay, if they pay, the bounty amount is so less that that cann't be transferred by giving Gas fees.

I join the people who say that this is a very high percentage, it seems to me that the level of scam projects today has certainly grown compared to what it was in 2017, but still today there are so many projects that are still being invested

They have really done that, I see most campaigns now prefer content campaigns a lot. The percentage is 30-50% and it is a great opportunity for many bounty hunters because there are very few people involved in this task

I'm agree with you, 95% bounties are scam and doesn't pay for hardwork and that ICO project makes whole market down. This year, we all know is the bad year for cryptocurrency world, because of scam ICO project and it will effect not only market, even bounties also. But the best truth is that now all the people have come to know about it.

you're wrong, not all bounties are bullshit, 2018 is a bad year for the bounty world. this year is not like the previous year.

but, we can still choose good bounties, such as ODEM, ARB, and DCC. so, we must be able to choose good bounty criteria.

[Absolutep]

Some response make me to laugh,someone saying why do ICO still need bounty hunters,if only you understand crowd effect maybe you will not ask such question.As much as I feels bad knowing that bounty hunters cheat a lot and that make things difficult for some of us that cannot do that.I just want to advice ICO to reduce the emphasis been placed on number of followers in any social media.People are coming up with fake follower just because they know that ridiculous amount of reward are been given to those with a lot of followers.

That's why we have to be careful in participating bounty campaign since most them are scam or will not succeed to their goal, but there are still some legit and good campaign that exist just like my current signature now.

[avonka]

The purpose of bounty programs is sharing awareness about the ICO to a targeted audience and they meet this purpose. And yes, you are right  there are many fake numbers and subscribers out there but still  bounty campaigns are the cheapest (paying in their own tokens ) and most efficient way for advertising an ICO. And as I see you are participating in them, despite they are useless in your eyes.

[pelumi20]

In recent time, majority of bounties are not really good and some are outright scam that just use bounty hunters to raise money.
I think the reason behind this is because of the market conditions, which has drastically reduced the money raised by ICOs. So when they don't raise money, they won't be able to pay bounty hunters.

Have you received payment for the campaign you are taking now?
I don't think there are many bounty campaigns that actually pay now, a scam might happen to all the campaigns we follow, the reason for proving it isn't scam or not is when we have got the token and registered in exchange.

[transformt]

I think that this percentage is still smaller but more than half of the exact bounty of campaigns are absolutely useless.

[Debonaire217]

I do not think it has any influence, buddy. Do you know that a community of 500 people can create a huge effect? Especially for those who are looking to invest in ICO projects, the writings will be greatly enhanced and it will have a powerful effect on investors. such as Wepower. It was very aggressive and thanks to the bounty hunters, the project was successful beyond expectations.

Bounty hunters are essential in the core of the advertising projects. Without the bounty hunters, there is an insufficient amount of money that can be raised. Signature campaigns do really promote the ICO. Bitcointalk forum is the most effective way of advertising it.

[carrascos]

such a number of fraudulent projects just kills the market and it seems to me that you need to do something with this because it cannot last for long

[Pearls Before Swine]

What I have noticed in the last year is that the number of signature campaigns that pay in btc has dropped dramatically.  Right now it doesn't seem like there are many new ones coming out, although there are still plenty of ICO bounties for suckers to spam in. 

Hiring forum members to spam social media with advertisements for projects that are generally scams anyway can't be that effective, even less so once the eyeballs looking at the spamvertising start realizing that those posts are no better than the e-mails you get for Viagra that go straight to your spam folder.

The spammers who rely on bounties to support their families are in for an extremely rude awakening, and it's probably not that far down the road.

[jaocoincrypto18]

It will be a bullshit if you did not receive anything in return like you have not paid of your efforts, hardwork or your time has been wasted because you were become a victim of scam and failure ICOs too but the 95% figure is big maybe just 50/50 because there are some ICOs that not really meant to be successful specially in this bearish market.

According to the website analytics I saw, Bitcointalk signatures are among the worst ways of advertising an ICO. Every 10 sig campaign participants drove _at most_ 1 hit per day to the website. If you just copy/paste post material or have nothing of interest or value to say, nobody is going to click on your sig. I know people are under the belief that quantity matters over quality, but I have never seen that to be the case.

[Gilliffyn]

I think now the chance is even higher, I 4 months more than one project has not paid something worthwhile, all the coins are still not even on the stock exchange, but I associate it with the bear market!

[South Park]

Bounty hunters have become so useless that they now offer an ICO nothing. All their Facebook friends, Twitter followers, YouTube subscribers, whatever -- its all fake numbers and they always do the bare minimum to promote an ICO. Even ranks on this forum are faked. Merits are bought and sold, accounts can be farmed, purchased, for absolutely no purpose other than to spam this forum with useless information.

And what kind of traffic do they end up driving to an ICO website? Almost nothing. Most bounty campaigns literally have more participants than they will ever receive hits to their website, meaning the average traffic driven to a website by today's bounty hunter is less than 1 visit per month. Again, its because of all the fudged numbers. Everything is faked, nothing is real. There is no quality control whatsoever.

I really don't understand why anybody does social media bounty campaigns any more. Translations, graphic designers, website builders, app developers -- those are the real bounty hunters. Social media bounty hunters are just scum sucking parasites. They root through garbage trying to collect digital specs of nothing, leaving a trail of trash behind them.

Nobody wants to learn a thing about anything -- they just want "free money" as easily as possible, which usually ends up being worthless anyway. Would most of you just be sitting around doing nothing if you didn't consider this to be a means of "employment"? My guess is the answer is "yes." Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

You are not that wrong when you say that many bounty hunters do not really offer too much to the ico they are promoting, but now we need to ask ourselves what is the ico offering to the bounty hunters? And you will see that they are not offering too much either, they are just offering a bunch of coins that have no value yet and there is a high chance that those coins will never have any value at all.

[Hengemeran]

I also think that social networks are not very useful for the project, there are wound subscribers almost all, I think the signature, YouTube, and telegram
