That's even a recent article on that website. I guess we're going to have a surge of new registrations going forward because of that. I hope they come, learn and contribute too, not completely have that belief of earning alone.
That's not recent article, it was published very long time ago. This article only get updated sometimes, this is why fresh date is displayed. And i could argue about some things which is written there. Like signature campaign brings low income, but actually it's higher than some earning methods which is described there.
Also old
https://mmgp.ru/, that was registered in 2007 used same "pay for 1 line in signature" reward system. And I think for a long period people used their any free forum account space to advertise their services. This makes bitcointalk not being signature campaign creator.
Oh, I completely forgot about this forum. I remember I used it a lot when I only started to try earn money online. I remember something about their ''signature campaigns'', but not very clear and I never tried to participate in it.
It seems that this system only works well here because of the freedom we have and if you think about it, it works very well here, usually the community helps each other if there are problems, or if a scam appears, with the merits, DTs, trust etc
Agree about it, can't imagine signature campaigns on other forums working same like on Bitcointalk. There is so many factors which don't allow it to happen. Like too low payment rates, not that active forums, spam and etc
