In the beginning bounty programs were really smart "organic" marketing. Incentivising people to promote your project, so that you can grow organically without spending too much, since your project is about collecting funds, not spending.

But for a long time now it has become an endless spending fiasco and results are really poor, since the bounty hunters aren't early project adopters and geeks anymore, but low quality spammers who have no impact on their followers  and have no intentions of supporting and developing the projects they are "promoting".

What do you think - is giving $50,000 - 150,000 worth of tokens for bounties still worth?

Isn't it better to give those coins for charity organisations and support people in real need?

Less likes, more good karma?

Just thinking, curious about your opinion...
