In the past it seemed that every project needed a Bitcointalk ANN thread to become popular/successful, is this still the case in 2024?
Nothing really has changed, and its even better today because we are talking about search engine indexation and
Bitcointalk can easily index announcements coming from any coin.
But the project really needs to be good and have potential because members are well educated and might give the project bad feedback, so this is the reason why bad projects do not want to create announcements here.
