Oh God.

Given the quality of this gig description, at least we know that whitepapers written by that person will be immediately recognizable as scams.

And yet, people will still invest in it.

The "Useless Ethereum Token" [1] subtitles itself as so:

You're going to give some random person on the internet money, and they're going to take it and go buy stuff with it. Probably electronics, to be honest. Maybe even a big-screen television.

Seriously, don't buy these tokens.

And people still invested more than $40.000 in it [2].

Bad example. That's one ICO I would actually buy into myself if I discovered it in time. I'm a believer in timely executed jokes, much like many other people on the Internet.
What's particularly alarming about that is he appears to have had at least three people purchase his service, two of them after the first had commented that it was substandard...

You know a market's full of suckers when even the wannabe scammers aren't discerning enough to avoid being ripped off.
