some time ago I heard news from a friend that it turned out that ICO Reviews and some ICO Rating websites could be paid so that their ICO Review would be good.
so in the end I can't believe the authenticity of some ICO Reviews.
Topic: ICO Reviews, trust them or NOT? - page 2. (Read 2296 times)
Video Reviews, ICO mailers, Listing websites, Telegram Groups, Can you trust them?
Before expressing my opinion about this I would like to mention that the statement made by me is not regarding any particular blogger, vlogger or a listing website. These are all my individual opinions.
Coming back to our topic. I strongly believe that
Most of the ICO reviews made by vloggers on youtube, bloggers on websites, ICO review websites and Telegram channels and groups created by so called “Gurus” have absolutely no value associated with them, are “useless”.
Here is why I think these reviews mislead people more than they help:
They are all paid reviews
The fact that most of the reviewers take money from the company to write about them makes the first point. Why would you write bad about somebody who is paying you to write. That would be best idea to close your shop, isn’t it? :-) lol!. They get money to attract people to make an investment. It’s their job or business model and if they have to be successful they have to deliver well on that.
A good article or a video is the one which brings more people to buy the product
Think about this, A good review article or a youtube video has nothing to do with the success of the product. Usually, Success of the product will come long after you had watched the video and most of the time when you will see the result of your investment you would have forgotten the research you did to figure out if the ICO was good or bad. But, If the video or that content is not entertaining or engaging enough you would not like it which would mean less business to the paying party. To summarise, Reviews are 100% focused towards engagement rather than success of the product.
Have you ever seem a player who represent his country for football as well as Rugby?
Most of the reviewers will speak and write about every industry, product originating from every country, product using every technology and with the token economics as difficult to understand that a qualified economist will struggle. I mean, They say and write those things for which even Warren Buffet would have said “I don’t know” :-) but these guys know everything ( I don’t know why I am thinking about my wife while writing this content :-)).
They should be themselves made billions by now
Can you imagine a person knowing so much about the whole business field that he has a following of 10,000 or 100,000 people and not making billions. I mean, He is like the person who touches anything and that turns out to be gold, Isn’t it?. Don’t get me wrong, They make very good money from the companies who want them to attract traffic for their websites. The point is, A person who is super expert of a segment like “blockchain ICO” (It’s true that many ICOs have given more than 100,000X returns) must have invested his $500 into those 100s of successful ICOs, right? :-). Somehow, That’s not the case and they keep on freelancing or working for very big marketing companies.
So, To whom should you listen? Who can give you the correct information? How can you trust that information?
I will share my thoughts about it shortly. If I am thinking on correct lines or saying something completely incorrect, I would let you to decide.
In the meantime, Please checkout our ICO at www.talenthon.io, We are a very genuine team based out of UK trying to disrupt an industry which is desperately looking for change with a unique vision. Invest if you like the whole business proposition.
I don't think that we should believe in ICO review. Don't believe 100% in anything. ICO review also can be faked. You should learn by yourself.

There were many cases that showed us that these aggregators are unreliable. People buy high ratings, raise money for ICO and deceive depositors.
I made it a medium to be able to provide information more clearly. actually not recommended because of course there are also many issues that say that the rating itself can be bought to get it
This has been a great concern in the crypto community off late as these days you can see the review about a project which looks almost perfect but upon further review from their website or whitepaper you realize that they have nothing really to offer the world but just to steal the funds of investors who come on board with their projects.
Indeed sometimes find this is where bad projects are rated good and this will be very proud when not analyzing themselves. have confidence in the site rating ICO could yet ensure good indeed its own assessment as to whether it actually became better and better. many scam and analysis capability will be very useful.
Hard to trust ICOs review these day after many ICOs are scam. But i think many website objective with their review and sometimes, scam ICOs happen because developers team already intent to scam people
to analyze the project really run ICO well and already registered there will certainly be a lot of information explaining that, you can also search or rate using www.icoguide.com, there are many tools to check ICO like analytical ICO, all of that will help someone to know the ICO is running or not
Trusting any ICO Review site is like being led by a blind man. Most of them know absolutely nothing about the projects they claim to review and usually collect huge sums just to paint a good picture about a project. If they were so trustworthy with their reviews, how come several scams have infiltrated the crypto industry? It is far better doing your own research and going along with your instinct.

At the onset of the ICO review site, they usually give an objectives and realistic ICO review, but presently most are now paid to review ICO, you will observe that most do give positive reviews this days, My strategy is that I use ICO review site as a guide after my own research.
reviews of realistic and what it is I think it's just nonsense. What is the rating on many sites naturally flavored with how big the project is able to pay. It is evident from many of the ICO and not yet not provided an overview and assessment as in fact there are. This certainly makes the trust becomes bad and only a personal analysis that can be trusted.
I don't trust that much when it comes to ico rating sites etc. But what make decide to participate in a particular ico is the number of people supporting the project, for example the number of page likes in their social media channels.
Although I can't say that they are all paid, users like tvpluss have ICOreviews sites and so far they have been very reliable, there are also sites like ICOdrops that I use regularly and still maintain the same transparency, but those are the only two sites I'm guided by, certainly the others don't give me much confidence.
Guys, remember one thing! In this world, money solves 99% of your problems and needs. I would not trust any sites.
If these reviews are not made by bounty hunters than yes. Because bounty hunters are not allowed to write any negative things about the project, so be advised and look if the article was written by a third party person.
It depends on information resource .. If it's coinscedule or token data it's okay. Sometimes I believe in icodrops and icibazaar.. because there I saw many true evaluations of projects.
It is pretty easy to define whih review is genuine and which is fake, so I still use ICO rating websites to find good solutions for the investment in long term run.
I still believe only in one source in crypto world and this is https://icodrops.com/ they still doing a great job and talking about projects really what they think.
honestly, for the time being I still believe in ICO reviewers, and see some recommendations from them, but seeing a lot of ICOs that have fallen lately, this makes me a little scared and pauses to believe in ICO, enough to be a bounty hunter
