I won't click any link that I'm not familiar with though it's just an article you should quote some of those important part like the 6 ways of earning tokens. With what I know here are some of ways to earn tokens.
- Join bounty campaigns (signature,article,telegram,social media, blogging and etc.)
- Airdrops
- Work and get paid with tokens
- Trade your other coins
- Faucets
Exactly my position too. Why bait people with click before they can have a tip of the iceberg. I guess the OP is on a click to pay kind of advertorial. Even without reading the article, the feedback from those who did is suggestive of a crowdholding kind of promotion. Crowdholding or crowdfunding isn't a way of earning free coins for me. The best is through bounty campaigns.
