wouldn't it be a prestige for any company to run a signature campaign and be active on this forum?

Take Coinbase for example. Google shows the current market cap is $50.95 billion and (in 2023) had 3,416 employees. They're on the stock market, that comes with corporate decision making. It's not a company where someone in the PR-department can easily get a couple thousand dollars per week in Bitcoin to pay for a signature campaign on Bitcointalk. Large corporations can't go around making anonymous payments to anonymous users on Bitcointalk. Some users here are from sanctioned countries, and sanction violation is not something they're going to risk.

You are right, this makes sense. They are a huge company and are under radar of every government and financial institutes. If they were about to run a signature campaign, I believe it would be KYC verified and on contract level because otherwise like you said, they might be in trouble because it can turn into a huge scandal if one of their signature campaign participant is from sanctioned country or is a criminal in reality.

I don't understand either why Binance, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Trezor, Ledger, BitPay, Bitrefill and similar companies don't advertise. Logically, they should be here but they aren't.

Asking the question is answering it: you already know them. Most advertising here comes from new sites who want new users.

You are maybe right, but some casinos are way more famous than Crypto.com, Trezor, Bitpay or Bitrefill and they still have ongoing signature campaigns here. In addition it doesn't explain why less known exchanges or other non-gambling platforms don't advertise here anymore. IMO this forum is less reputed than it used to be because despite the merit system, some sections are still too much spammed for being interesting to read, or even to stay readable unfortunately.

This is true also. Being famous doesn't mean there is no necessity of extra marketing. Procter & Gamble is probably one of the most famous company in the world but yet, they spend the most amount of money on advertisement.

That's a very good question. I don't understand either why Binance, Coinbase, Crypto.com, Trezor, Ledger, BitPay, Bitrefill and similar companies don't advertise. Logically, they should be here but they aren't.

I can say a bit more about hardware wallet companies like ledger, trezor and few others, because I know people who contacted them for signature campaign promotion.
Most of them were not ready to invest amount of money needed to have serious signature campaign.
Best we got was small promotions and giveaways from Satochip and Bitbox, but maybe this will change in future.
I remember the time when Trezor team members and Keystone owner was active in forum, but they turned more towards twitter I think.

This is very interesting, I didn't know if they were contacted for signature campaign promotion. I wish I was there during that time when Vitalik Buterin, Charlie Lee and founders of other famous coins/companies were active on this forum.
This forum still has a potential to be the most popular space for discussion but it will require significant changes, including hiring a team of professionals in different industries but I think that won't happen.
