I support the idea of analyzing and choosing projects by yourself only. Nobody knows the truth and only your predicted trends will help you to make the right decision which will minimize losses and maximize profit.
Well way back a year a go which the forum is clean and just very informative the ico rating sort of they tend to always gives you right information but right now mostly of it is those ico rating sites is being paid by those Team of the ICO to put their token on their website and rate it high sort of it is a good token that is the happening right now so i do agree on you that it is good choice if you analyze by your self the ICO
There was a lot of thief have created such a scammy ico rating site for the marketing purpose only and it can't be tolerated. A high rating in the ico rating site can't be trusted and i have seen someone has created a medium post about that. DYOR is always become the best choice to determine how good the ico is.
