Really it does not matter who is a campaign manager.. so long as if people meet a certain posting standard and are not scammers they get to join the campaign first come first served and they get paid for their posts as per the transparent rules. ANYTHING else is rightly to be termed SHADY and should be rejected.
That's such a ridiculous concept. That's akin to saying an employer should simply accept the first applicant that comes through the door for a job if they met the minimum specs? Companies pick and choose employees all day every day using all sorts of arbitrary metrics. It isn't shady, that's their
right and their
freedom of choice. You can't force someone to hire somebody just because they happened to be the first one to put an application in...
At the end of the day, campaign managers are free to have arbitrary rules for joining, that's their prerogative (assuming the employer is fine with it)... So, if you don't like their rules, complain to their employer... or become a campaign manager and run campaigns how you think they should be run. Continually lambasting managers to run campaigns in a manner you find acceptable is not going to change anything. Talk to the people who are actually paying for the campaigns. They are the ones who ultimately control the campaign managers.
