Bounty Hunters Don't Read

This thread Explains it

Quote
However, won't be surprised to see another application below  Roll Eyes lol

They refuse to read the thread very well and understand the rules

They are very much in a haste to earn and that is why they earn up being scammed.

They sheepishly follow existing application

They refuse to doubt when it sounds too good to be true

***** Just imagine application kept coming in, in an April Fool's Thread.
Are these applications from bots...



bad experiences have taught me about trust. since feeling cheated by scammers then since then I never wanted to believe in anyone and in anything that offers lucrative benefits and does an easy job. now I think that no easy job can generate huge profits, because success requires process and hard work.so I think let them be deceived because of their own mistakes. because that mistake will be an important experience for his future.

This is the mistake of bounty hunters on this forum, many do not care to read carefully and tend to be in a hurry to understand the rules of the game. This should be a valuable lesson for them and we also have to be careful not to get caught in it.

The bounty hunters usually don't know that the project is a scam or not because they only participate and carry out the tasks that the manager provides, while the bounty hunters may be fooled by some of the goodness provided by the support on telegram, but no one can guarantee that all bounty projects are legit, sometimes tokens paid for are of no value.
Thank you very much for your insight. We do understand that some bounty hunters may not read through the bounty tread properly in most cases because they just want to register and be on the list especially when there is a limited number of offers to specific levels.

However, as you mentioned, there no way you can tell if the bounty will eventually turn out to be a scam even if you read the whole instruction, Student Coin is a typical example of a SCAM project that after the bounty refuses to pay what was stated on the bounty page. Now that is not the fault of the hunters but was just an act of outright SCAM from the Bounty project owners and we have seen some more like this.

Yeah, but at the very least, we need to read, and find out about what we're going to do, and whether it's appropriate or not. it might be different when someone doesn't realize the project is a scam after his team runs off. however, this is a different matter. People even sign up without opening the given site, and don't even realize that it is an April fools trap.

I am very surprised to see that there were some higher rank members who have became fool with this joke which indicates that they avoid to read, hopefully they have learned an important lesson with this April fool joke and they will improve their reading skills for their best.

That happens very often, I'm sure all hunters must have experienced it, I don't think we can avoid that because we can't protect anything as hunters. I can only patiently accept that if what we follow is deceived, I usually do some research before joining a campaign, but there are still scams.

You are going to waste a lot of precious time if you pick the wrong project to join, but the majority of bounty hunter prefer to join as many campaigns as possible because they do not have the capability to do diligent research and just rely on luck to find a good bounty, because even if the project is good there's a possibility of not getting their share and project failing to reach the goal so the project can proceed.

I believe the mistake most bounty hunters make is the failure to do research about a project. Most bounty hunters have favorite bounty mangers, so they just blindly trust this managers and participate in any project they release without doing research about the project.
You're right about hunters blindly trusting their research decision to managers they think they trust to do the due process for them. Sadly, truth remains that most of those managers don't do any due diligence on projects they take on, provided they're sure their fees will be paid. In fact, most times these BMs have even had to commence managing bounties upfront without getting payment. That's an act of desperation. This shouldn't be so. These same ones will be quick to condemn Esau who sold his birthright over a pot of porridge. These managers who don't do due diligence and take up bounties because of the financial reward they stand to gain are not different from the biblical Esau because they too are selling their dignity for a pot of porridge.

Do you believe in the free lunch? Certainly scammers know that only suckers think about the free-lunch;

Scammers need morons, and suckers always looking for 'free shit'; match made in heaven

Your research IQ won't always safe you from scam projects, some scam projects are so good that you won't notice any scam move from them until they vanish into thin air, research is a good way to start bounties to safe yourself some time but not always

Too many risks involved in promoting projects, if project didn't eventually turned scam they might decide to lower your reward or decide not to pay a single penny to bounty hunters, this have happened many times already, bounties isn't something to depend on honestly it's just try out your luck no matter how good you are at research

because most of these hunters are not careful when determining a participation, because it could be that the bounty hunters are tempted by the advertisements listed or often advertised even though they do not know the details of it all, so most bounty hunters are often stuck with advertisements and cheated with gifts

most of them speculate if doing more campaign their possibilities to earn money bigger than they selective accepting campaign. as we know in few months ago there are alot scam project , even that looks very good and team developers qualified. but till reward paid , we could not say it is good campaign or not.

I'd like to think that they are, only an idiot will join campaign without reading all the information and about the potential of the project, it's too waste of time effort and opportunity from other projects if you only know how to read the whole information about the campaign and the project, it's the fault of other bounty hunters if they got scammed, they are not doing what they should be doing.

To be honest, I wouldn't really blame them lmfao. I mean just think about it, the whole crypto thing that has happened in the world and not to see years ago, just see what happened in the few months lmfao. Just imagine, what will happen when a let's say a 8th grader who has saved $100 from his pocket money, sees Elon Musk talking about Dogecoin, and then he buys Dogecoin and suddenly the price start to grow and he gets back around $4,000 genuinely Grin wouldn't he now be super greedy? And when he says this to his friends? They will easily fall for projects promising them 10x when they have seen a genuine 40x profit lmfao Grin so yeah, the awareness about scams in crypto should be done really in a heavy way and that responsibility is on us who knows about it I guess Tongue

I try to make projects that are traded. But there were such projects that are presented on the exchange, but did not pay anything. I read company information, study the team. But in the end, I also come to the conclusion that everything depends on the success and involvement of the team. I will also say that I trusted my intuition and many times it did not fail. I bought tokens at the beginning of projects and had a good profit.

It's obvious either this account is a bot or the poster didn't understand a bit of the two posts they quoted because the response is completely offtrack. Are you posting merely to meet up with your weekly quota for the same pot of porridge, literary speaking?

BTW, I intentionally didn't want to snip out the long quote so that other readers can get the nitty gritty of it and see the offpoint straight up.

But in real world there are hunters who are not paying attentions or simply not reading the conditions. People who only see the potential value of their work if the project will go ahead and succeed.

There are experience people who knows the value of their time, managing to read and understand all the grounds with the project before doing any actions.

This people are safer than to those who are not reading, though chance of getting scam still there but its much lesser risk.

Yup, I believe there wouldn't be any other explanation better than this one, lol. Just reading through the applications, I can really sense the great need for employment or alternative ways to earn income. Because if not for this, besides the reason of people being carelessly dumb, I do not think people would easily make such a humiliating mistake. This just shows that some people are just handing out applications to any bounty thread they see without even reading it so that they can maximize the chances of having a bounty campaign that would accept them and they would only have to choose which is better by then. Well at least that's how I interpret this. Or maybe some people are just too lazy to read more which results in them just reading how great the rewards are and which campaigns in  that bounty they can get into. Those are the only things that I can ever think about right now.

I basically agree with what you guys say, and this one is indeed weird, but sometimes the scams are also much more sophisticated or they start out as a serious project but turn it into a scam later on. How the hell would you know that if you due diligence was on point? And what is scam? They can just spend the money on their own salaries, tell you that the project is broke in a very short time and you are left with nothing feeling scammed.
