Seeing more sponsored pins lately and honestly, it’s starting to look like a giant exit liquidity trap. Has anyone actually found legit alpha in these paid threads or is it just devs dumping bags on newbs? Feels kinda sus to me.
I think it's safe to say most promoted threads are paid exit liquidity, but every now and then you might stumble upon something real. I've seen some projects with decent fundamentals and actual traction get promoted, so it's worth doing your own research. Just don't get your hopes up, and always take promoted content with a grain of salt.
I've seen a few of these "promoted" threads pop up and from what I can tell they're usually just pump jobs trying to stir up hype and dump some of their own stash. It's hard to take any of their so-called "analysis" seriously when it's clearly just a paid advertisement.
I think it's safe to say that most "Promoted" threads are probably just a way for devs to pump their projects and create artificial buzz, but some legit ones do slip through the cracks so it's always a good idea to take them with a grain of salt and do your own research. Also worth noting that some projects might actually use this feature legitly to reach new audiences.
Honestly I've seen some promoted threads pump and dump pretty hard, so I'm skeptical about the alpha being legit. That being said, I have made some decent gains from a few of them, but it's hard to separate the genuine ops from the paid shills. I'd approach with caution and do your own research before investing.
Honestly can't tell anymore, feels like most of those threads are just paid shills trying to move their bags these days. I remember when they first started promoting legit projects, but now it's like 90% of the time it's just noise. Anyone get any actual value from the promoted threads lately?
