A bit late to the party here, but it has been brought to my attention by PowerGlove, thanks buddy!
That's why we should be very careful when choosing what to promote. I've been offered lots of different signature and avatar campaigns here in the last 2 years and Whirlwind was one the many campaigns I avoided. Mostly because it was a completely new service with 0 track record, i.e. 0 trust (in my book).
What also slightly tipped me off is that for the price they were paying, there was quite a number of low-quality posters who were not very knowledgeable and / or did not write readable posts.
For me, on one hand that means I simply don't want to be a part of the same campaign, and on the other hand it means that Whirlwind doesn't really care about the quality of posts under which their ads show up. This is quite the red flag if you ask me, especially at such a high pay rate.
My current deal by AgoraDesk - a service that exists for years and is run by the LocalMonero folks - is definitely paying less, but I feel so much more comfortable promoting something I've known for years and used before myself.
Actually, I've basically written this exact same wall of text in a personal message with PowerGlove all the way back in April 14, 2023 - ask him if you don't trust me..
I mean, by your logic, nobody could have predicted Bitconnect to be a scam?
Anyhow; while I did miss this whole fiasco when it was happening, I actually noticed how suddenly all the Whirlwind banners quietly disappeared.
I hope this will be a lesson to all of us and that people will take more care in sponsorship choice, instead of just looking at the $/post.
I'm really pissed off, and not because I lost money; fortunately, I had grasped that "don't leave coins to third parties" cliché. I'm so pissed off because I've been advertising and recommending this shit for months, in such a way that I'm practically part of this scam. And it's just feels awful.
I totally understand you; personally I do think that we have a lot of responsibility, just like web content creators, who promote products and services with their online presence.That's why we should be very careful when choosing what to promote.

Ya doesn't feel great, but don't blame yourself, because
1- You didn't know it would turn out to be this.
2- You had no way of knowing.
3- You were not a part of the scam, but rather a victim.
I don't fully agree, especially with points 1 and 2. We should always be cautious about new projects in general, and especially so when they start dabbling with extremely high interest rates on deposits. To the best of my knowledge, so far that has always resulted in exit scams.1- You didn't know it would turn out to be this.
