I can not remember exactly how much Chipmixer was paying when they first launched their campaign.
Up to 0.0375
BTC per week (which translates to 0.00075
BTC per post) until late 2021 bullrun when Bitcoin price became crazy, then it was up to $300/week after that until they were seized.
If I can remember correctly, first few weeks it was somewhere a round figure per posts. Consider my memory is serving correct then it was 0.0007 per post. At that time bitcoin price was around only $2,000 to $2,200.

I disagree with you. Aggressive marketing is just a type of marketing that works very well in a short timeframe and gives a huge boost to brand's awareness. Logically, every new service should come up with aggressive marketing at first, otherwise they won't become famous anytime soon.
@Synchronice what do you think now?
Later they increased the rate and it was 0.00075 until they changed it to $6 when bitcoin price was $30k more and above.
In late 2017 and early 2018 when Bitcoin price was $19,000 to $20,000 only for few weeks, then 0.00075 per posts was a lot but imagine how much bitcoin they already had when they started? The price was even below $1k when they were creating the mixer. They already had enough bitcoin to cover the marketing expense that was calculating in dollar.
Chipmixer was never aggressive. Their growth was steady and normal.
