Topic: 95% of Bounties Are Bullshit For Everyone Involved - page 2. (Read 1675 times)
I don't agree with you. Bounty hunters create a certain HYIP around the project. Investors pay attention to this. Moreover, the cost of bounty is not so big. Why give up very cheap advertising?
I am agree with your statement, if I were ICO I wouldn't launch bounty. Fake followers is true, that's why i don't go in social bounties. As for signature, probably it is also worthless, but for me it is a way to earn some tokens for free,so why not? I am pleased to talk here, receive information about new ICOs and so on
I do not completely agree with you, let's not forget that the cheapest way to advertise bounty campaigns. Normally, you need to pay thousands of dollars if you try to advertise on facebook or twitter. But in this way, you can make free advertising by paying a few dollars to tens of thousands of people.
I think bounty for social campaigns is important marketing. That's one of the ways to promote the project via Twitter, media, Facebook, or Reddit. There are some bounty hunters who work honestly and sincerely, but there are also some who do multi accounts (scammers). I am among those who work honestly. That can be overcome with KYC. Because they have to fill in their personal data to claim the gift.
Social campaigns have only one usecase: project which they promote will be higher in google requests and nothing more, the most twitter and facebook participants have "follow back" friends and the aren't interested in retweets/reposts which participant makes.
Well, I want bounty hunters to use real accounts. Many bounty hunters used fake accounts. This step must be prevented, if from the start the project manager can choose correctly, many project managers only see the number of followers present. All stakeholders in the bounty must play an active role.
Social media still have big influence to attract new investors and that's why most of ICO projects still considering social media is good place to promote their projects but indeed i have to admit that majority of bounty hunter seems does not too care about potential the particular projects because usually after reach the payment day they mostly will dump the coins

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.
Totally agree , I'd prefer to deliver quality ads to the project and to the project was rewarded this good profit , and I will remain then only the very few who will make bounty And what kind of traffic do they end up driving to an ICO website?

Of course, it’s bad that such a situation in your case does not seem to me such that without patience and perseverance in this area it is impossible to succeed, and there must be an understanding that money is only the money that they have today and they left . Or do you control the process. Or the process controls you.
Certain generalized opinions are not always true, it is often termed a fallacy in logic, I know a lot of persons who have been discouraged by recent events in the market which is equally responsible for low project turnout. I can see some kind of painment from a frustrated hunter. We all have some kinda frustrations also and the reasons are obvious. But we are still hopeful that is why we are still here.
I think that everything is not straightforward, because the situations are very different and now many people will govorit that it is probably better not to take part in the bounty and not invest, but I will continue to do so despite all the difficulties.

I found a lot of good projects. Now I just try not to pay attention to bad projects. and if you learn how to do it then you will not have any problems. You will not notice disgusting projects if you learn to see only quality
For sure, there are a lot of bounties that are pretty awful. This happens, because the team is dishonest and are reducing the pool and because of the poor management of the project. We need to be more careful with every bounty.
This has become possible in every company, and I can't understand the conditions in which we need to perform bounty. Many become angry at those managers and not payments from generosity. I think there are few people do this, but what is wrong about free money. All of us joining because we want to earn. And I believe because of joining, we learn about blockchain.
Even if the bounty is bullshit, it has also brought a lot of money to some people. And it draws hundreds of thousands of curious people and wants to engage in bounty. Only that said the bounty, and said that bounty is not bullshit
The figures you have provided were truly alarming. It should be fixed otherwise there will be no investors left for crypto. I am not sure how it will be fixed but it should ve done as soon as possible. I don't blame those investors for playing safe until the issue on scan ICO's were rectified.
you are confusing Iadrop with bounty!And different things if for example Idrop 95% is slag,that's for sure,but if the bounty there is only 30-50% of the slag,and the rest are worth something,at least something to sell,and some of them even will cost a lot of money
I increasingly begin to suspect that the percentage is really so huge, because so many projects today show that they are scam projects. No matter how much we want it, I probably think that it’s still better not to invest at all until you know 100%
I am worried about the very low value of the coins/tokens when they enter exchange. It also takes a long time to see tokens/altcoins enter market. Hope bounty hunting will not turn out to be a huge waste of time and resources.
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.
Right, my point exactly. So why do bounty hunters continue? I really have no sympathy for either side of the equation.
Some bounties can be very good. It all depends on how seriously the team takes the bounty
As a distribution mechanism, it still is one of the best ways to give out your token and also get some sort of value in exchange
