Over the years there have been a lot of crypto-based-based projects where the business owners offer shares in the form of coins they produce with different kinds of promotions including bounty programs, until when will the gift program remain?
I believe these bounty programs will last as long as we have internet to access it. As we can see, these projects is a form of advertisement, with our cooperation we advertise their product or project. Hence, they can also gain money.
That's where you're wrong. Moderators are thinking about removing signature campaigns all at once if the merit system will not work the way it should be. Although there are a lot of spammers that have been banned due to the new system, there are still tons of them in the community that are spamming useless threads/posts that don't contribute to the forum for the sake of advertisement.
