It seems you do not understand the crowd law. When you are an investor, you see a lot of advertising on a project, you will definitely pay attention and will want to learn about it. The purpose here is to crowd effect. The more it appears, the more it will affect your psychology. I think you have a very wrong view about marketing.
you're missing the point: most bounty hunters use fake followers, friends, subscribers, etc. therefore they are not really creating a "crowd effect" at all, but simply whispering into the wind. I recently had access to the Google Analytics data of an ICO and saw that in a 1 month bounty campaign, with 20 bitcointalk members wearing signatures, it drove exactly 3 hits to the project website. A complete waste of time for both parties involved.
Twitter, Google, Facebook are just as bad. A lot of bounty hunters complain about ICOs being scams but really they are equally as bad a scammer themselves by pretending to have influence they don't actually have, therefore both parties lose and nobody wins. I just don't understand how anybody makes money this way.
Do you guys really make money being a social media bounty person? How much? Like $30 a month? I'm genuinely curious.
Don't be curious about that $30/month they got. Just be curious whatever is here laid on the table for you. A week later you'll realize its not worth talking to convince anyone to stop promoting ICOs, they are here to stay and bounty hunters stay. More projects to come for there are more platform battles ahead. The money going into crypto is less than 1% of the worlds money, we're working double time. Don't try to resist.
