They seem to have a tradition now. try to launch your campaign about once a year. This time, they made a bid on post pay, raising it to a record $9 per post. Only what in this sense, at least $20 per post, but who will probably advertise this scam garbage. The 1xbit owner needs to resolve past reputation issues with scam accusations, but they don't think about it at all.
If they are stubborn to the end and will accept someone in their campaign, these participants will most likely be negatively marked in the trust.
Makes you wonder how other places will respond. Not to put too fine a point on it, if they actually do pay the $9 / post will the legitimate places feel any pressure to raise their rates.
Look at all the crap that the best change campaign got when they 1st opened, but over a year later they are still paying and going strong.
We all know 1x is crap, but if this week they get 19 bad alt accounts with their sig and 1 good one and they actually pay, then a few weeks later they have 18 bad alts and 2 good ones, etc.
Yeah, it requires that they pay but assuming that they have 20 legendary accounts only @ $140 a week that is still under $3000 a week. If they are really as big as they look and are not paying some players then it's pocket change.
All of a sudden, someone who is considered a "good bitcointalk user" needs some more money and figures screw it and sings up.
Probably never going to happen, but would be an interesting supply & demand experiment.
