Absolutely Not! Most of these so called rating sites are paid to hand out misleading ratings to unsuspecting investors. Many projects with high ratings on the rating directories have all gone under with many of them absconding with millions of dollars. Carrying out personal research and investigations about a project gives you better knowledge and better investment decisions than leaving it at the hands of strangers who may not have your interests at heart. Take whatsoever the rating sites tell you with a pinch of salt, most times, it doesn't hold much importance.

I obviously don't believe many of them. because each site is the first 10 ico as different from the selected program. After all, there are few successful projects in the market. How different are these?

To be honest, I still believe in the existence of an ICO rating regardless of whether the rating is achieved by payment or indeed actually. However, I did not make this ICO rating the only consideration for making a decision to join the ICO or not. The main thing is when I will decide to join the ICO or not by studying the whitepaper from the ICO and making an analysis. Besides that, I will see a roadmap from the ICO and also the softcap or hardcap from the ICO has been reached or not. I will only see ICO rating when I have done all that. This ICO rating is only a complement, not as a main factor.

They seem biased to me. A friend of mine who's doing an ICO told me that they paid 10ETH for 5 quality ratings and that's that! I noticed that some ICOs with good project, team, and good social media presence are struggling with getting good reviews.

With all that said, should it still be a factor to look at when investing in ICO?
ICO rating sites can not be trusted, listing ICO on this site costs a lot of money, so who pays more, receives better rating. Thats all, they do not do objective research and review about ICO which pays them a lot. It is only about marketing.

yes i do trust ico rating sites but it doesnt mean that the ratings are directly proportional to sales because there are lots of projects that are sold out without the perfect ico ratings. though it is a big help for the investors, the inside the team news is more accurate.
Infact the stars or ratings itself exist just for marketing purpose, the developer or the owner of the website rarely give attention into potential project that won't pay them, instead they are trying the value of their ratings just solely for marketing purpose and realizing that most of that kind of website does the same thing, there's no need to put your trust into such sites.

I personally do not pay attention to rating sites, because I know for sure that the data on them is not always relevant. In my opinion, it is now very difficult to determine which ico will be successful or vice versa. The best indicator is the successful completion of ico, a workable product, and of course, satisfied investors and users. And all these ratings now do not carry objective information.

I think they aren't neutral. But  even if I don't trust, whenever I invest ICO, I look project's ratings. As a result, there are some rumours that they take money from ICO owners.

I do not want to offend anything, but I think that today rating sites are something abstract, something that today probably causes very strange sensations, but just today few people really trust these sites, the most important thing is that the market does not benefit from it.

the payment for trustworthy ico rating sites are usual. in the outside world of crypto, big companies are also paying advertising sites to promote its product. same as crypto, survey sites are way of advertising projects.

Such services do not give me confidence in the integrity of the project. Therefore, I trust them by 50%, I look for the rest of the information on my own and do an analysis of the projects myself.

Sometimes, ICO rating sites are manipulative, this is the reason why some other ICO succeeded in their required capitalization because of the high rating from the ICO rating sites, but for me, it doesnt matter anyway because i  always look on the probablity that the project could perform well, if we just based on the product that they could promote, second thing is that the community support from their social media, thats the important thing for me, ICO rating is useless for me, because of the reason that i stated above.

It's so risky to having a trust to ICO raiting sites. It's better to find people, who makes special ratings and sell this information for money. They are more stable than free sites, which could to give you a scum.

Not really, now you can buy anything,but of course there are sites such as Bitnovosti that I think will not be fake companies to advertise,but only those who really plan to develop in the market,and there are of course sites and sources that and outright fakes advertise, lizhby money snatch and more, that's all

Definitely that's the reality. Most of the ICO rating sites are biased and are paid for good reviews. That's the reason why I did not trust those sites and only believe on my own judgement in investing to ICO.

In my opinion the ICOS ranking website has two sides with well-ranked and highly valued campaigns and the ICOS campaign team doing well in selling the Altcoins will give investors confidence. But some of the campaigns i think they are looking to achieve good scores as well as good reviews of the ICOS rankings page. And then mobilize the money to run away is the act of evil humanitarian when people have believed in him and then do so. we have to strongly condemn.

Actually, i try to avoid all these ratings. I believe, that all the rates can be bought by devs and so on. It is better to pick up projects, hyped by crypto society

Rating which is displayed on such sites is not accurate and even if these sites would not be sold, it would still identify a normal project there would be impossible.

dont trust the rating you need to make a lot of research about the project and rate it by yourself if you want to invest in ico

The rating shouldn't be trusted 100% though some times they are accurate with their rating but a whole lots of time too they are not always correct so be careful when checking out ICO rating.
