How many they have got paid for publishing the scam advertisement.
Cointelegraph = Scam advertisement site(Is the publication free for everyone?)

Anyone can confirm this? Shocked

I am in no way surprised by this. If you read BTC news from different sites you notice that some news are very hypey and pumpy on Cointelegraph. The journalists at there are maybe biased and like some of the media outlets, even corrupt. Be careful in what you are reading and do not readily believe in them.

I know about that, It was applying on every site. Look at the announcement section of alt.
Too many coins were being easy to advertise on some site, seems like just pay some and you will get enroll for that.
I might have thought if that will be another plague.

Yes but the announcement section of the alt is not pretending to be the media which is supposed to be honest and objective. The BTC news sites have the responsibility to bring the truth to the community not to make subjective claims and making promotions to benefit themselves.

The cointelegraph has told me the truth. It was discarding my trust with it. I may think if it might have a filtered standard for choose the positive news to get spread in our community. And in this cases seems like they were saying "who cares".

If theyre really saying "Who cares?" then they should not be in the news giving business. They have a responsibility to uphold and doing a bad job on that will not reflect on them well. People will stop taking all the BS that they spew.

They say that they're not responsible for sponsored article, so they can say "Who cares?" and logically it would be user fault to trust sponsored article.
But, many bitcoin news/media who promote scam but always get away with it.

I think people should index all bitcoin news/media which promote or sponsored with scam or ponzi investment.

You can clearly see tag: "sponsored article" which is basically paid advertisement in the form of a news.

Actually cointelegraph publish sponsored article from scams even if they have done research behind company/project they are promoting. I don't think they are not aware of this scam UFOminers, they try to just got away with all money in the name of paid/sponsored article aren't written by us.

They are known for promoting several cloud mining scams before too.

Yes and it's not new in cointelgraph they already promoting some of it before and now its already close.if you wise enough you will do your own research about investment you want to entered before putting your money in.

This is not a surprise at all for a blog site. Special those who accept pay per review. Yet this is not of course applicable for all bloggers(yet a very good of gaining people interest in your blog is to put some tactics in writing those). I've done being payed too review as site before and different client would always have different perspective(and you will just have to do your job). It is your choice at all if you do want to do it with ethical values or not.

They run they site and they need money dude. You can not criticize them for that. I have also seen blockchain.info advertise some cloud mining sites too. When you run a site which has a large number of audiences, you must put some banners to earn some extra money.

you can do it and apply some common ethics.

I agree. Why should I waste my time and read their "news" when I see them so obviously promoting scam/deceptive sites.
It clearly shows their lack of concern for their readers and just further highlights their main priority as making money.

I personally like crypto-news.net , it's a fairly new site but I've found some of the articles they've published as really helpful and informative. And, I have yet to see it promoting any sort of shady sites.

Some people don't consider Ponzi, HYIP sites as thieves, but as a ''gambling, luck'' site, because who is investing on those sites know about the risks and are just trying their luck, to make profit before the site vanishes. The only really affect by these scammers are the newbies believing they really can make profit. But surely it's not advisable to have such advertises in any sites.

Now, what are they? Journalists or coin pushers? What is the difference between promoting a business you have a stake in and posting sponsored articles? Not here to defend Cointelegraph, but it's a common practice.

It is not like you can find objective cryptocurrency journalism in the first place, every news site has its own agenda and are not here to educate or inform people but to earn money.
This is the reason we have sponsored articles, paid advertisements and articles about certain altcoins spreading. Don't live in the dark - do your own research.

yup. most of them do it multiple times a week and most people reading it don't seem to give a shit. there've only been a handful of sites with any integrity and the will to unearth some actual truth and news like coin fire. the rest are all empty whores like so many others on the crypto scene.

Yes, But remember if cointelegraph hadn't done it in the past. And I guess, it will sacrifice the site just for earning some bucks. Because there is some people felt if they still a reliable site right now.

As I remember, Cointelegraph always published such sponsored advertising articles. News sites shouldn't work in this style. It becomes hard to trust cryptonews sites. This is why I prefer to follow news on bitcointalk instead of crypto news sites.

this is not new at all. they have been doing this forever.
cointelegraph and so many other crappy news sites are doing the same thing, they publish whatever pays them the most no matter if it is scam, harmful, FUD, or even support of an altcoin someone wanted to pump. as long as they get paid or they feel like it is a good click bait to generate more traffic for them, they will publish it.
