$45 against $150 for the highest-paying campaigns for each site, so yeah you are correct.

As usual with you, you didn't even bother to read what I explained afterwards. I'll explain it to you in another way.

A month ago, the highest paying campaigns on this forum: $250 per week.

A month ago, the highest paying campaigns on this altscointalk: $0.

Now: the only campaign that pays the most in this forum: $150.

On altscoinstalk: $45.

A year from now: we'll see.

The purpose of this thread is to warn of what may happen if more restrictions on signatures are imposed, not simply to rejoice in looking at a still photo of what this forum looks like today.

There's no reason for additional signature restrictions to be imposed because the services being advertised (gambling, exchanges) are either not shady or their industry predates bitcoin. So it's not like we are going to see lawmakers declaring more advertised bitcointalk services illegally.

With that being said, Altcoinstalks is just a bus for people who want to earn extra money doing mixer campaigns. It's traffic is nowhere near bitcointalk (While I cannot get the exact numbers because guests cannot see them, I can confidently tell you they are nowhere near Bitcointalk's 900k page views per day. They do have 3000 guests on average though. Bitcointalk does not say how many guests visit per day but with 900k page views, it is most likely much more than that).

The mixer payouts there are a bubble just like they were here. Except the average pay here went from $100 to 200/300 and then back down to 100.

Altcoinstalks went from 0 to 45 per week and there weren't any campaigns there before this year except for bounties. Now there are just mixer campaigns there and bounties. Even the DDoS sites which were banned here are not advertising over there.

It mixers become banned by law then the average payout over there goes back to zero as there will be no more campaigns left if mixers are banned there too. And it's not like Altcoinstalks admin is just going to stand by and let their forum get sanctioned or shuttered because of this.

This is not hate, it's just facts and data.

It's good for bitcointalkers who want to go earn extra money. But as long as bitcoin.org, twitter, publications, Nostr and all those other platforms are ignoring Altcoinstalks links, then traffic will not grow, and hence signature payment sthere will not grow.

Bitcointalk could ban all signatures tomorrow and the payout goes to 0.

But it wouldn't increase the payouts on Altcoinstalks at all for the reason I mentioned above - no traffic.
