Though bounty is not like before, like way back last year bounties are good and here in the forum mostly of the user are contributing and there are minimal spamming here , so you could really learn from this forum and also can earn a lot but as the 2018 arrived the spamming is getting higher and also the users rate are getting higher. Bounty still exist until the forum is alive, it is still there but there are lot of scam bounties and also post in the forums are trash because of those new one that keeps on posting shits.
Bounty is dead right now if you compare it before you cant earn big unlike before . Bounty is dead when we are talking about those earning and giving payback with your effort, your effort now is not getting paid back right now!
You are right good old days where you can see 100 to 200 participants for facebook and twitter campaigns, Signature participants do not exceed 50 as far as I can remember from my past experience, but now social media campaigns participants was almost 1k both for the two, sig and other campaigns was up to 100 plus most probably some of them are alts and new members they can just earn few tokens for 2 or more months of campaign.
