Yeah, sig campaigns have existed on this forum long before I created my account, ff course, back then I didn't understand it very well, nor did I know that users were being paid for giving up their space in the signature. If this model continues to this day, it's because, as long as it's a long-term investment (1y or more), it pays off, perhaps not in clicks on the links of the signature, but in brand recognition and reputation building. As long as the company remains reputable and doesn't block withdrawals or do anything else suspicious that could tarnish its reputation, the sky's the limit.
When I first saw Sageswap presenting themselves on another forum, I immediately noticed their dedication and quick responses. These guys are good, and if the volume has increased, they deserve it.
Not even the sky is the limit. They could provide their services as long as they cause no trouble, and that's how other platforms are still providing their services in the market. But trust has to be developed first, and that can only happen by being honest with the community. They are doing well by sharing everything they can to keep the community aware of what they have achieved and what they are going to do, like they did in their recent updates.
Are you talking about Altcoinstalks or some other forum? Signature campaigns are a source for these platforms to show the community that they exist, but signature campaigns alone are not enough. The reputation of the manager handling all this also plays an important role in the success of the project, and that's why Sageswap has chosen one of the best in the field.
