What we can assure with that data is that there is no altcoin project there IIRC. That's probably what it was then, more casinos, more campaigns.
Altcoin projects usually go for bounty campaigns over signature or ads auction. You also have to factor in that theymos filters auctions he accepts so there are those who applied without being accepted.
In the past, there were a bunch of signature campaigns for altcoins that paid BTC, the most successful ones did that. IIRC, that was during the preICO period and then came 2018, the bear market, and most of them died. But as for the auction for the forum ad slot, you're right.
It's also a plus that they get the target market that they want to advertise their service/product.
If you have a service that accepts crypto and is legitimate, you have target audience on this forum.

Exactly.
