After I read all replies, I should explain what mean. I'm not saying bounty hunters are useless, but... no, actually I think this theory can be trustful.
No, wait, guys. You say that buying likes n views is fake and bla bla bla. But listen, have you ever seen a single Twitter or Facebook account of a "normal" bounty hunter? It's rubbish! Not a single personal post, only retweets of crypto startups. You won't find a single interesting post/tweet, you won't even find a post of Cointelegraph. I understand these people, but, dear CEO/CMO, if you read this, are you sure it worth?
You say that BHs create content and you are right. IMHO, 99% of such content is of low quality. I see the only reason to do it if you use YouTube SEO and promote it by tags. In this case guys looking for 'how to buy bitcoin using cash" would find a crappy (sorry) video, but they will find a solution and use the webpage below the video. I hope not a single CEO/CMO does not rely on audience of BHs YouTube channel. And you know why? Because these guys bought fake subs. So if there's no difference, why not buying subs, views and likes directly and save money?
But yeah, they do content, you don't pay them now (!) and you save you ICO budget. I understand it. But as usually I have few buts.
But 1: You say, you save money if you use bounty, but why don't you calculate the salary of Bounty Manager? When it's time to distribute the tokens, you will have costs for that. And the main thing is about your token. If it's not s SCAM and you plan to get your token listed on reputable echanges, you should think about your token liquidity i.e. market making. You should be ready to "catch" your token price, cause these guys gonna dump it hard. They did not pay for it and their landlords asking for rent.
But 2: As mentioned in the first post, we all know websites where you can buy likes etc. I bet you've seen different prices. Today I've seen Telegram "real" members for 25$ per 100 members. Woooooow!!!
You are right, you can buy bots, but you can buy real people as well. There are services where people do minor tasks and get minor money. These services provide it to the webpages that sell you these services. I mean these are real people. Yes, the probability that they will be interested in your content is not much, but still. And there are lots of "fake services" that you can use and benefit from it. E.g. YouTube views. Did you know the most important factor is retention. The
higher retention is, the better. Not gonna sell you this idea but it is closely related with YouTube SEO.
So what can you tell me now?
