I sure do love cryptocurrency. I also enjoy interacting with other people who enjoy it, and even if we disagree it’s fun to debate and learn.
What I don’t enjoy is when a company hires someone to write a 3000 word shill post, and then they upvote it and mass comment on it using their hundreds of sock puppet accounts.
What’s even worse is when you try to call out this behavior, they then use those hundreds of sock puppet accounts to bury you in downvotes and reply to each other’s comments all patting each other on the ass.
It’s fake as fuck, cringe, and does nothing but try to enrich some asshole. If you see any slick topic in this subreddit with a bunch of shallow comments all cheering each other on, please downvote the shit out of it and call it for what it is.
The problem is far too vast during the bull market; I guess we have to accept that sort of thing is allowed. But now? During the great bear? This is our one moment of peace and respite.
Let us have it. Fuck off shills.
it’s getting extremely difficult for me to tell if a post is shilling or genuine analysis of a project
Yeah no, even when the prices have tanked, this sub just changes to a state of self-pity and grasping at straws.
Well we are in it together now
Let’s pat each other’s ass here too….for revenge.
3000 words you say? Well I can tell them its wasted on me 😂
I had a legit question yesterday and got help. My mates❤️🔥
Yes the sub is actually usable. But are we still learning from it and making money? *Hell nah*
Yea, I learned my lesson a lot. VET is really sad in my portfolio and I bought it because it was the temporary love of this sub early last year.
Never again.
I’ll just stick to my own opinions.
My biggest worry: I like ALGO. But the fact that this sub likes it too makes me worried about its future….
This is probably the biggest reason why I never got into Algo. From what I know it’s a good project in terms of fundamentals, but this non-stop, coordinated, cringy shilling in this sub keeps me out of it every time. And of course, every time there is a post about another coin reaching a milestone there must be an Algo maxi remembering us how it’s a shitcoin and can’t be compared to Algo.
fuck shills, fuck Robinhood, fuck the SEC, fuck my portfolio; anything i forgot?
I sadly disagree. This sub has been pretty unusable for quite some time. Sure, there are some quality posts occasionally. But it’s annoying to weed them out through all the shills and mainly stupid moon farming posts. I think the moons is really what killed this sub, along with the previous boom of idiot investors paired with the general state of the world. Very difficult to have a civil conversation in any sub, much less this one. Not all hope is lost. In a way, I would be somewhat happy for a prolonged bear market, so that only folks with legitimate interest in crypto would remain in this sub. Time will tell.
Well yeah, kinda.
Downside is that people from r/buttcoin etc. seem to flock here now in great numbers.
The 3 people that I have learned to hate with no remorse if it causes them mental stress
Influencers
Shills
Scammers
Anyone who said anything negative about ALGO was blocked by OP and it’s sad that I can’t call them out anymore.
Gotta agree the sub is alot less hectic now than when it was a year ago and also when there is a good post it don’t get burried in shitposts thankfully…
I dna man, i miss not being able to refresh quicker than the 1,000 bot moon farmer accounts all saying the same thing in the daily
Forgive my ignorance but what do you mean by “front page”?
Shills are the worst, but they’re inevitable
How many folks identify as a maxi now that didn’t 3 months ago?
“Why I’m investing in ____ and why you should do as well”.
I’m still just here for Moons.
You probably missed the ALGO shill on the front page.
A year ago the sub could have been called r/algorand with the amount of shilling going on
The best part of this bear market is moons ratio is high
These shill posts actually help me to recognize the projects I should definitely not invest in
This subreddit continues its path of ignorance and harm. The content continues to be of the most horrible and even absolutely false quality. Scams continue to be the sole thing discussed here, and misinformation the agreed reality. Verification, computer science, nor diligence have any place here, and it is because of this broken and twisted culture which continues that we will see again thousands of people harmed.
This subreddit is a principle source of harm in the ecosystem.
Is funny because you can totally see a pattern when is bull or bear market here.
Enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts..
Once the market heats up, there’ll be mass shillers everywhere again!
Its definitely better, but the content can be shallow especially in the daily. Its like people have a daily comment quota and have to fill it with cheap content like “Hodl” and “we’re still early.”
The posts are much better than the ones were posted during the bull market.
Still plenty of shit though – lots of good articles get buried
Yeah, the BTC shills can get obnoxious. But then you can discuss actual crypto*currency*.
second OP.
But wait….. Let’s take a moment to appreciate our sponsors of today’s post…. Raid Shado….
Noticed a lot more crypto memes in my feed this morning as well.
Yah but now it’s been flooded with bearish sentiment.
I’m bullish on shills this week
Stayed to learn technology
It’s certainly nice that flash in the pan memecoin scams seem to be 99% less frequent than they were a year or so ago. I’m not even mad when I see one now, I’m just in utter disbelief that anyone capable of falling for that garbage actually still has any money left at this point.
Yeah we’re now flooded with quality and insightful content, just like this post!
/s
This topic has appeared once again. I think I see it once every couple of weeks
If someone starts shilling something it’s time to sell it
