History of Cryptotalk campaign

[ReiMomo]

I do not think that the decision to pay for posts from 101 was wrong or abuse.
It was when they start paying from lower number of posts that Cryptotalk was one big spam incubator.

It was easy to see how things would turn out by not implementing a threshold. Like you said, back when I browsed CT, most posts were at at least 100 chars.

But with the current state, there's a better control over the spamfest.

People stay there just because of the rewards, even they paid for the spam post as and it's definitely doesn't make sense the content in every topic had.

At least, CT knows now how it feels the forum that has a full of spam feast as what they did here in Bitcointalk before.

Bitcointalk.org is full of crypto talk signatures.

For how long this campaign started?

I checked this site. This is just an ordinary site why they paying so much money to promote this site. Stealing bitcointalk.org customers?

Are you serious? Why will anyone steal the customers by paying them? I would suggest you check their ANN thread and check out yourself to understand how this campaign has been going on. It's a humble request not to accuse anyone without valid proof and I feel since your rank does not allow you to participate in this campaign you are trying to portray them in a negative light. I have been a part of Yobit campaign from four years before your account was created.

" Those who live by the sword, die by the sword. " 

However, I'm not entirely sure ... I think they were aware of how it works and how it will end. I think this is a long-term project and, as a consequence, they are trying to create competition for Bitcointalk. I wonder how long they will try and will it ever work out...?

Truth to be told, I did have some interest to join but I lost a few brain cells in the process, and had to give it a pass

In countries where there is no work or it is very poorly paid, this can be a very good source of income. Of course, spam does not require too much effort, but writing in English can also be an interesting form of language learning. I do not agree with it, but I do not claim that there are only bad sides.

Yup, I understand that there are legit posters in CT too. And also, getting paid to post on forums has its own appeal compared to other microjobs are more demanding yet pay peanuts.

At least users can be sure that they will receive payment. It often happens that someone performs some small tasks for many days or even weeks and finally the service turns out to be a scam.

Certainly a long way for Cryptotalk to turn into a source of reliable information, but if thanks to this users and forum owners will be satisfied, I think it is very good for the whole community.
