I think the answer to your question lies with the choice of bounty.If you chose to participate in shitty project or scam project,you are likely to get shitty results.The project never reaches softcap as investors are becoming weary of ICOs and you would have wasted your time.I great project comes with great rewards.If i am to participate in any bounty,i spend my time doing some background checks.I once saw a project where the team wanted to hold back 20 percent of ICO proceeds to themselves even on the white paper,investor never showed up to such term and such project will likely fail
