Dear elders I’ll write down here my 3 privet views about above question.
1st one
ICOBENCH and ETC sites are also commercial purpose institutions. So they want to earn.so they do that. Always they try to stand on the middle point of the truth and lie.
2nd one
Every ICOs are risky so can’t blame to ICOBENCH and ETC sites
3rd one
We never should not be depend on others we should research with our self and after collected wrathful rate details and finally we can analyze with ICO rating site’s rates. So we can get clear idea about ico rates sites are legit or not legit
Topic: Can we still trust ICO Rating Sites Like ICOBench - page 3. (Read 863 times)
I don't think it's a good idea to choose ICOs relying on ICO rating sites. I don't trust them, they're all for sale. If you want to succeed in ICO you should learn how to do your own researches.
I trust only in my skills and intuition. These sources have their own interest in ICOs listing and they are not trusted sources for me at all. I spend a lot of time on researches
To believe or not it's your choice .. I never trusted this site (ICOBench). as for me the ratings of this site do not meet the real ICO rating .. even the scam on this site has a very high rating. the owners of this site do not disassemble in the companies , or receive money for overrating the company...
You sound as if you’ve fallen down from some faraway star. Receiving these fees is what these rating sites were created for. did you really think that they exist to help you choose an ICO?)))))
This Is How Easy It Is to Buy ICO Ratings .
Believe it or Not. the Whole ICO stuff looks scandalous this days. New investors can easily fall into this trap if they fail to make proper investigation before investing into new ICOs. Can you imagine that rating sites today do contact ICO owners and ask for a certain amount of fee for a high grade and rating on their site.
If you double, please read this article. It is an Eye opener. what are your sugguestions as well.

Every newbie to ICO investing should read this article. It is quite natural that there is a "secondary market" for reviews and ratings and I wouldn't be disappointed if a particular site (say ICObench) clearly stated that a rating can be bought or influenced by money. None of ICO review sites I know does it.
These sites are only made to collect more money for high ratings. I would not trust them, although they have good projects.
Any investment is risky. The ICO rating website can be used to check ICO information. It can be used as a reference, but it should not be used as the sole basis for your investment decision. You should know more about the information before investing. You are diligent in research. I suggest you Don't trust icobench completely, most of the time the comments on this site are very bad.
Judging near the situated section, it does look as if to me is lachrymation mound on unlisted ICO grading stops so as to assist their have. This is not an free iscernment so it is not a beneficial hypothesis to ridicule to grading of unlisted sites.
Usually when I am considering my investment criteria I don't really follow the opinion of ICO sites because I don't find it reliable enough. I usually do my own research about the project and analyze every aspect of it before I make my decision. I also consider the opinion of top crypto analyst like Gobone and Ian Balina before I finally conclude on investing in the project.
Based on the appended article, it does appears me the author is diluting on other ICO rating locales in order to advance their own. This isn't a free evaluation so it's anything but a decent premises to expose to rating of different locales.
I advise one not to trust ico bench as they get paid for promoting icos and they can be biased and often they provide incomplete information. There are other websites out there which are providing ICO advice and not taking any money.
Yes of course, you can still trust ICO sites like ICObench because they are legit and if not, then you should learn how to find out to know if they are the real one because in this business there’s a lot of scammer that spread out.
Nothing beats your own investigation and research.
If you use your own high standards for ico investing, you will never get scammed.
Think of it like a real life business that you are going to throw money into, a kickstarter if you will (because that is exactly what it is).
Would you invest in a business that can't even show you a sample of their product?
If someone says, "We are going to make the best pizza in the world and by next year become the dominant pizza company in north america!" and you ask to sample their pizza and they say, "Sorry, we won't start figuring out how to make it until we have the money to do so."
Isn't that crazy?
But there are so many people who invest in icos that have absolutely nothing to show.
As far as trusting random "ratings" from teh web, that is even more stupid and foolish.

These ratings are nonsense! You can check the team for honesty, you can check different things, but this will not do much ... The most important thing is that HYIP is around the project!
Icobench has long lost its trust. As far as I know, there was information on the forum that a lot of advisors on this resource are taking money from the ICO projects for putting a positive evaluation.
It doesn't surprise me. I guess it's the same thing when we see top profile people promoting ICOs, like John McAfee or other well known individuals. Of course that I understand that a rating site should be impartial and more trustworthy, but if you think about it, when John McAfee gets paid to promote a ICO, he is actually "lying" and has no concern over his reputation, because he knows nothing real bad will happen for him. Rating sites don't really care as well, and they are not entities, so they just say whatever they want. They all know ICOs are risky, so it's hard for someone to blame them when things go wrong in the end, so it's hard to prove that their rate was not legit.
I like you answer. Actually I never believe John McAfee, too, but i like follow his post. I will do the opposite of what is written in it 
). 
I doubt that rate, we better study the project that is running and that we want to follow rather than see the rating, because the rating can be manipulated I think.
The thing about ICO rating websites is I noticed a lot of projects get high ratings but most them are duds.
Preferably I always make my own research and follow cryptocurrency analyst that makes comprehensive reviews and also keep spreadsheet for reviews.
I only use ICO analyst and websites as guides but I make my own investment decision.

I do not believe in those indicators. I believe in a rating that comes from myself, from my personal research.
