Speaking about promotion! Only one question: How much$$$ ??
This actually says a lot about what you guys think building a coin is about, and probably why you are falling farther and farther behind.
The answer is zero. No money was paid. Poloniex decided on their own this is something their customers would want. I have no idea if they are right but I guess they know their business better than I do.
To take the coin only because they paid for it is not a good strategy. I highly doubt that it's interesting to customers
