Doing marketing for Crypto project is a complex task, lot of ways to waste money and bump our socials with fake accounts. But these are not real leads that will buy our NFT for example.
There are values always or people would not spend money on marketing. Talking about waste of money is not only for crypto projects but any sorts of project. On Facebook marketers spend billions depending on their budget. Results depend on how well you know a platform to leverage from it.
If a project is thinking bounty hunters will be the investors of their project then they got wrong idea. The entire bounty hunting thing is a completely win ICO/NFT for owners and the hunters are taking all risks. When you spend zero money, you do not expect everything perfect. A professional team is not going to work free for you. It used to be good back in 2017-2018. At least at that time they used to get value for the coin they received. Now it's almost a dead economy. If anything left in the bounty economy then it's for the owners.
One that comes to my mind instantly is that it is a bought account.
Buying account is not prohibited at all. But unfortunately most of the time bought accounts involve themselves with shady projects to scam others because they do not have anything to lose.
