Just try promoting or selling things that are issue free

[Ucy]

Ofcourse, we know it's not going to be easy to know for sure or have detailed knowledge about the quality of what we sell or promote , but we can use the little we know especially as it relates to potential harm to make amend rather than giving excuses why things should remain the way they are, which most likely are for selfish reasons, such as:  I have bills to pay, I need to feed my family, I need to survive, etc. Is it OK to survive by harming, cheating, deceiving other people? What makes those who do such things different from scammers or thieves who cheat and rob others to survive?

This has becomes necessary at this time Bitcoiners are working hard to further develop/grow a circular economy where products/services will be exchanged or swapped for bitcoins. There probably won't be government in charge to regulate things, but we could ensure a high degree of quality by including features like evidence-based reputation system, evidence-based product reviews, trustlessness to check and balance one another otherwise very few things will be safe for consumption.

One thing you must know is that you wouldn't know what people are promoting or how trustworthy a site could be on this platform, usually you wouldn't know their intentions or anyone intentions to what they needs or if they are truly transparent or not. Of course several site do launched here on a regular basis but you wouldn't know about them or their purpose of launching such site. Sometimes after building trust they could end up the other way round after having to achieve their aims and purpose.
It's not actually written on the face of anyone is that person could scammed or not.

It should be a personal responsibility for any product that you use markets for you to have a detailed knowledge about the product because as a marketer who intends to make sales, how do you convince others about your products if you don't have adequate knowledge of them?

Personally as a consumer, it is a green flag for me when I see a marketer or a producer making use of their particular product that they market or produce because when a marketer or producer makes use of their products, it is a strong indication that the product is genuine, as it is useful for them as well.

[abhiseshakana]

I am a marketer or a seller,when i know a product is dangerous; I won't sell it. When a product brings a risk, I won't hide it. When i know a product is bad, I will not claim it's good when it isn't. When i know a product has a defect, i will notify the buyer. I am honest seller, so when buyer decide purchasing my product, Buyer already fully aware of the condition and quality of the goods,  I haven't held anything back. Or simply said both pary agree.

Garbage In garbage Out, block chain only ensuring incoming data cannot be changed (immutable). I agree that a circular Bitcoin economy requires security, but matter of fact that the blockchain is merely a morally neutral transaction tool. It cannot do screening whether the user is an honest person or a scammer.  I think evidence based reputation system also can be manipulated, review can be falsified and practically reputation can be bought and we see that someone with a bad reputation can create a new identity.

Selling of fake things for consumption is on the rise and they dwell more where the government of those countries don’t regulate them, when they don’t have an active body fighting against those that are doing that. Bitcoin is just a medium of payment, their could be little to none that can be done as regards to that even when bitcoin is being used to as a medium of payment for those services.

It is the work of the person wanting ti buy something that will determine more the legitimacy of what they want to buy. There are many signs that could give you a persuasive indication that the product you want to buy is genuine and not fake. People who sell fake products don’t use them, when you see them not using their own products, it indicates a strong case of a fake product. This could further reduce being scammed of a fake product.

In case of selling a product required for daily needs, a seller must ensure its quality, and in online community, a service or a work in exchange for bitcoin, the requirement of that work must be kept in order. And if a daily needed product is bought and sold with bitcoin, there is no such thing as an extra moral problem. Morality is judged on an individual basis. And if a work is done through bitcoin, there will be a negotiation between the two buyers and sellers and if they want, a third party will deliver the work or through them complete the transaction. But their long-term trust, they can get each other to do the work and develop some software and transact it through bitcoin. Initially, there may be an issue with trust, but over time, if a person works for a long time or a business relationship is established, then no problem is seen to arise whether the transaction is done through bitcoin or through another currency.

[MArsland]

This kind of problem does cause a gap, especially in public confidence about the goods or services offered are really good quality or not. Valuation of goods, reviews etc. can be manipulated but there is one thing that might be a solution that is a third party as an intermediary that ensures the transaction of both parties to run well.
I mean we are accustomed to transactions to pay for goods or services, with the existence of a third party can decide whether the marketer often receives bad reports or not from consumers after giving the goods, so consumers can ensure a track record of transactions. Moreover, using a blockchain that can be easily recorded transparently so that the public can see and verify for themselves.

There is a saying that if you can not consume what you are marketing, then it is better not to sell it in the first place and unfortunately, because of the way the economy is, a lot of sellers have sired their conscious with hot iron such that it is very difficult for them to be actually concerned about the wellbeing of the people they are selling an item to. as long as it brings profit, everything goes.

Another things is that as long as those producing fake product keeps at what they are doing, even if you don't market it for them, they will still find a way to sell their product. this is where the regulatory body comes in. if regulatory bodies are up and doing, before a product goes into the market, it should normally have gone through serious scrutiny and checks to ascertain it authenticity.

[Fortify]

I don't understand this idea that you're putting forward that something that's given away for free somehow has no value, cannot be sold on or must be corrupted because a price wasn't paid? People are capable of giving genuine reviews of a product even if a price wasn't paid for it, but you must understand the character of the person and trust them before accepting what they say. There are some people who will beg for any freebies they can get and will lie about the quality of the product in return, then there are others who will get free products or services and slate them if the quality is poor. If someone gets a backpack for example that's worth $50 and buyers are paying $40 on places like ebay, then it's still worth $40 regardless of your opinion on whether they should be reselling it or not.

Some marketers don't really care if the product is a quality one or not, but all they are interested in is making money from the product. In marketing, the most important thing is not just selling a product; what matters is the kind of product you sell. When a marketer is used to selling good products, the products you sell will always do the marketing you want, and this is what some marketers are not aware of.

If a marketer builds a brand that people only know for good products, people will be the ones to even look for the marketer. You don't need to struggle to sell your product, but a marketer who is good at selling bad products would always struggle to convince customers to buy their products.

Is it OK to survive by harming, cheating, deceiving other people? What makes those who do such things different from scammers or thieves who cheat and rob others to survive?

People will not trust you and will mark you as a bad seller if you sell products or services with issues just to meet basic needs.

That is a bad alibi. Your livelihood as a seller depends so much on your reputation as a seller of products and services without issues; you'll be out of this business if you deceive your buyer. You should value your sellers or customers so they come back and take advantage of what you're offering.

Selling depends on trust, and often the customer is always right and king, so never betray that trust.

[TheUltraElite]

There are review systems which end up getting posted by public about products and services. If bitcoin is being used to spend for them the bitcoin forum users make sure to report any bad actors in the process because gradual rotting of quality inside a circle is common due to lack of a regulatory system - rather making it self-regulated solve a bit of the problem.

Putting up a price for something is available for free - once the person understands this, they will no longer attempt to use it any more and get it. However not trying to look for alternatives in the similar context is common among the current youth.

It's hard; that's the reality, people are willing to take the shortcut path so they can get ahead from other people and they dont want to experience the hardwork they wanted to gain already the fun in life so they take that path unfair right but you cant change others people mindset and behavior because we are different, even we wanted to fight we have poor justince system.

Its a rule, a law of regulations even we wanted to make an appeal we are in a country that has a leader and a government that handles all of the rules. All we need is to appeal and push through to the government that the use of the bitcoin or cryptocurrency is a useful thing. But with these corrupt governments and poor decision makings thats why we created thoughts to them and not to trust them too.

The obvious reason some people do it is for money. When they know that the product they are selling/promoting and still choose to do it is because they are getting it for less.
They can sell it for market price and pocket the difference by falsely promoting that product.
Although they are successful in doing such things but they forget that the end user is the one who has to face the consequences of using a bad product.
What goes around comes around. Sometimes, the one who promotes such bad products becomes a victim of another bad product sold by a similar greedy person. Karma is a bi*ch  .

Honesty is a good quality for a person, but for a businessman, business will always come first. Any businessman who produces any product naturally bears responsibility for the quality of their product, but manufacturers often replace important ingredients (when it comes to food products) with cheaper ones.

Palm oil, as a  harmful product in ice cream, has been subject to criticism in my country for quite some time. But marketing seems to turn a blind eye to the harmfulness, since profit is the top priority.

Today, there are many products that do not contain genuine, high-quality ingredients, but no one blames the manufacturer. This is primarily convenient for certain segments of the population who cannot afford natural products and for whom health is not a priority.

We can talk about the dangers that affect most products. For example, Coca-Cola is very harmful. So why do some people sell it, while others drink it?

Therefore, talk about someone not advertising something because of the danger is useless.

You are already using and buying such products, thereby replenishing the treasury of manufacturers who profit from producing harmful products.

A single organization that is set up by the government will handle the issue of selling things that are either fake or unhealthy to people, this is because telling people by mere saying that they should stop selling things that are harmful to people, they won't take your words so serious, but if there are enforceable laws that are there to protect what citizens consume, trust me people that sells will follow the law, the law is a respecter of no man.

We control the products that we manufacture ourselves, whether it should be of quality or below standard. The products we import into the country cannot be controlled except by the manufacturers. The manufacturer may claim it is the best quality when it is inferior. However, it is in the position of the seller to verify the quality before introducing it to the consumer.

Bad products will chase customers away. The intention to feed family, pay personal bills, and cover family expenses won't become a reality if there is no customer to patronize the business. Business needs quality first. Then customers will come next.

I think I have an idea if what you are talking about but because people who sell goods and services that could be of harm to the customers rarely use it themselves shows that they do know that these goods and services are harmful to those who consumes it but they continue to sell such to people and promote it to their fans and those who they can influence.

It's time people take accountability for what they do without using excuses to defend themselves especially when they get caught.

A Few Words on High-Quality and Low-Quality Products

I would like to share a thought regarding high-quality and low-quality products.

To survive in business, the first step is to understand your customers. Knowing what they truly prefer and what their needs are is crucial.

Many resort to false advertising to propel their businesses forward. Yet, they may not realize that, in doing so, they are actually sealing their business's fate before it has even truly begun.

The more a businessperson earns the trust of their customers, the more successfully they can grow their business.

One major issue, however, is that many who supply high-quality products charge exorbitant prices. They do this knowing their customers will remain loyal; consequently, despite offering excellent products, they behave just like unscrupulous traders when it comes to overcharging.

Much can be achieved in life through ethical conduct. Therefore, conduct your business ethically by offering unadulterated, high-quality products.

[BlackHatCoiner]

A decentralized, evidence-based reputation system sounds great on paper, until you remember how easily humans game things. People already buy and sell accounts and fake Trust ratings on this very board.

Math fixes the money, but it doesn't fix human nature.
