The prevalence of casino and gambling ads in this forum does seem a bit off at first glance. But the reality is, casinos have the financial muscle to afford extensive advertising campaigns, targeting platforms like these where potential customers gather.
On the flip side, Bitcoin-related projects often operate on tighter budgets, focusing their resources on development rather than advertising. Even though they're innovative and essential, they don't always have the same immediate profitability that gambling platforms do. That's why you see fewer Bitcoin-related ads in comparison.
I suppose it's that simple, yeah!
What does bitcoin-related software have to do with campaigns?
One of the best ways to promote your innovative project (bitcoin-related in our case) is through this forum.
I've actually wondered myself from time to time... Maybe Bitmover is right, but i always wondered why other company's that accept bitcoin as a payment don't jump on the potential traffic from the biggest bitcoin community...
....
It makes me wonder if it's a legal issue??? Most of us are pseudo-anonymous, and usually bigger company affiliates have to pass trough KYC so they can get harassed by their country's tax authority afterwards... I guess it would be harder to implement a KYC centered affiliate program on bitcointalk.
Exactly my point! This forum includes a huge community of people who understand and love Bitcoin, so isn't it a good place to show / promote / advertise your bitcoin related projects?
Imo, it looks to be far more effective, from the marketing point of view, to advertise in those big techs/social media than here..
Companies who are allowed to do so, simple advertise elsewhere.
I am here since 2017. 90% of the advertisers were mixers and casinos. With rare exceptions, like a few kyc free exchanges or services like wasabi or bestchange
It's definitely true.
