There is some coin still have announcement in this forum, especially the old project. And in 2020-2021 many coin does not use this forum because they already have another media like " binance launchpad, polkastarter, etc " and they can grab their investor from there.
That's right, and for projects that use binance launchpad and polkastarter, some users of this forum will not be able to enjoy it unless they turn into investors for only a few projects, although things like that can be good for projects, some people won't get them when the launchpad is opened.

If you don't know about Bitcointalk, why are you now in the Bitcointalk forum, this is the official forum for every cryptocurrency, ~snip~
Hmm, I think you are a bit wrong about it. Bitcointalk is the official forum for bitcoin itself, although the discussion on bitcointalk forum covers all areas of crypto space and lots of new projects launched here it does not mean bitcointalk is their official forum, they can create their own forum later.

The reason why lots of new projects making a debut here because bitcointalk is the most active crypto forum (based on forumrankings.net), so there will be a chance they can embrace more people to follow the project by post their ANN here.

I agree, most new projects just coming into the blockchain space, don't know of bitcointalk I bet. They come straight from finance & developer backgrounds and BTCTalk isn't talked about by those in social media, just known to the OGs. I am sure a good percentage of them would come create a post if it clicked or they knew about it at the time.
If you don't know about Bitcointalk, why are you now in the Bitcointalk forum, this is the official forum for every cryptocurrency, so if there is a new project with a cryptocurrency background I don't think it would be wrong if the project developer wanted to create ANN in this forum, because ANN It can also be used as an additional promotion for people here, because in the Bitcointalk forum there are also very many active people.

Three years ago a friend invited me to one project with a ticker ASK, surprised that they are finally in the market

Permission/ASK they don't have an official announcement here but they are doing great, in terms of volume and development, this is a rare occasion where a project is doing great even if there are is no official announcement here in Bitcointalk.

Tell me the reason it is necessary for the project to create ANN on bitcointalk.
Although depending on different projects they have their own channels to discuss their issues privately, so I don't think it is an important issue.

I think they are not aware of the popularity of the forum. Even if the projects gets a lot of attention on social media and youtube, but why leave a platform like bitcointalk where they could get a lot of investors too ?  I think someone needs to tell them about this platform so they can advertise here too. If they are still not interested, that does not effect the popularity of this forum.

Personally, I dont like projects that dont have an ANN thread here. Such projects representatives operate mostly on telegram and can easily delete an inconvenient question, delete my post, delete their answers and etc. While here, if they make an answer, this becomes public and store in the Internet archives. You can get away here with saying here A, doing B, while planning to do C.

I also don’t like projects that are being promoted exclusively on social media and similar platforms. I can see no reason why new project should not have an ANN thread on BitcoinTalk where they have direct and open communication to all the community. One reason could be, as other members have mentioned, that they are afraid of critical thinking which is just another big red flag.

If you're scared of criticism and don't want open communication with your audience, you shouldn't even begin a project unless you're planning on committing a scam from the very start.

I noticed this also, starting with YFI.
And I think there's one major reason a
BitcointalkANN is not the standard anymore.
It's because 98 percent of new projects are
on Ethereum. And most of those devs are
Ethereum maxis, so you can't force them to
write a Bitcointalk ANN.

I do not see it as a fair launch for a few reasons.
Twitter and medium are algo based news feeds.
What one person sees on their home page is not
what another person sees. And Medium is a
paywalled site, which makes no sense for Ethereum
projects, because they promote decentralization.

I have a strong feeling that some projects are simply afraid to create ANN threads on bitcointalk. Some strong standards of what is scam and how to recognize it are already formed here. Usually these flags are correct, but sometimes they are absurd. ~snip~
You are right, I guess that one of big factor why the new projects are avoiding bitcointalk to introduce their fake project, their malicious act will be exposed before get enough victims. That's why tend to mainly introduce it on social medias which is lots of FOMOed people and newbie who don't have deep knowledge about scams in crypto space.

That is why, most part of bounties, managed by low rank account and which dont have ANN threads are scam.

There was a time when every crypto project had their ANN on bitcointalk. But recently times have changed. I see majority of new projects listed on coinmarketcap but they do not their ANN listed here.
Most of the projects are happy have their community on facebook, twitter, telegram but ignore this platform. What could be the reason for this ?
Same thinking, before I wanted to ask the same thing about this, maybe recently the new project is not very interesting or how to include their ANN here, or as many people say social media is a good prime target to launch a  the project so that it can be known to many people everywhere, besides that it may think that only certain members who are registered here can find it in this forum

As we all know, social media can certainly be accessed by anyone, such as ordinary people and others, perhaps this is the main goal of a new crypto project to attract the attention of many people.

I guess the reason is that newly introduced projects already have several platforms for advertisement and publicity. There isnt a need for ANN threads anymore. Moreover, telegram groups are now used to converse regarding the project. Facebook and twitter are also good social media platforms which are much more accessible for potential investors to know of the project's information and current roadmap. These two platforms are also good in notifying buyers and investors on the current post and update that has been made, unlike ANN threads in bitcointalk that you need to constantly check.
Twitter became the most easiest way now knowing there are influences who might help them too or notice them when their project is really good too. Before Ann thread were needed here for the whales to check the legitimacy of the project with the help of other investors in identifying it, now investors and whale are proud now to tell that they are investing in some Crypto project thru social media.

It would neither of the two which they might not know about this forum existence or simply just their decision or preference on not to touch up this place but if we do really
think up that sensibly then how a project owner would really able to end up on deciding not to make an ANN thread on the best crypto forum that had been existing?
It doesnt really make any sense if you do have that kind of mindset or thinking.You are missing out for more exposure which you cant really get from those
social media advertisement or marketing and if you do find one then better ignore, they do just missed out something important.

In my opinion, if a project does not have ANN thread on Bitcointalk, there are mainly two reasons: either it does not know about the possibilities of Bitcointalk - mostly new projects from Asia, or it does not want to have thread here because they are afraid of something - mostly criticism because they know there is something wrong with their project.

Bitcointalk played a major roles in projects in the previous years especially when token sales and ICOs were a thing. Then, only a handful of people would invest in your project even if you had a Google or Facebook ad campaigns running for months. It's only when you combine the traffic and investors on bitcointalk that it gets the much needed traction. These days, it has changed. There are platforms dedicated to market token sales and there's an high influx of investors who don't necessarily need to see it on bitcointalk to take part.

Now, I only see speculation threads about how these new projects. I guess that's how it'd be unless things changes.

Social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit,Youtube and even in Telegram are todays most effective platforms you can use to introduce a new crypto projects because of its ability to target audiences based on preferences because this platforms collects user data and suggest relevant ads that can easily target and attract investors this is more effective today rather than making ann here I have also seen to many projects on cmc almost everyday but no ann here.
I feel like that is something important but SEO plays a role as well, if you write one blog and share it on all social media platforms that would be a lot better SEO for your token, and sharing it on bitcointalk is definitely good as well but I think projects just do not care about this place anymore.

Let's face it, bitcointalk will not survive forever, people are already moving to twitter and they are not dealing with old time forum stuff anymore, we are few people staying here but we are not at our peak, it is not growing if you ask me, that is why I think twitter is the new bitcointalk and this place is not getting the attention it used to get. What you can do with this however is the fact that bitcointalk is more calm, it doesn't have the old chaos it used to have, and smarter people who knows what they are talking about and veterans of crypto stayed.

If Bitcointalk is no longer a priority now, why are you still in Bitcointalk by following the bounty project? Does the project that you follow don't have ANN in Bitcointalk? actually ANN threads are only for making some kind of information and announcements even though it can also be done on the project website and social media channels, but I think ANN threads will also not be bad if the team provides the same information.

I have a strong feeling that some projects are simply afraid to create ANN threads on bitcointalk. Some strong standards of what is scam and how to recognize it are already formed here. Usually these flags are correct, but sometimes they are absurd. It is believed, that if a project is not demonstrating team on the projects webpage, then they are hiding. Yet sometimes it is not necessary to show whole team.

For example is anyone knows full team of Binance devs? Empty profile on a social media is suspicious. This is yes and no. For example I have almost empty profile on a facebook and most like would delete it, if this was not the only connection with my kinder garden/school/university friends. If I were to create a project and share a link to my profile, scam hunters would tag me for having a fake page. I think being afraid for not being understood is the reason for projects skip creating ANN threads on bitcointalk.

I'm thinking of that too, people in this forum already too experienced when it come to distinguish a shady project and could make that shady project reputation down the drain because bitcointalk also very frequently appears at page 1 of google search. not to mention this forum is really active.

yes, just like what I feel about this. Time has changed, it's different from 2017 back then when I join all of this craziness for the first time. I even met a project that doesn't have any bitcointalk ann, whitepaper, minimum information on their website, but the telegram group is so crowded and people really passionate to buy. The admins even not that active, the group just talking about the airdrop, this is really confusing me. About bitcointalk ann probably because nowadays it's so difficult to join bitcointalk, so it's an issue for a new project to do it.
