i agree with you. i'm here from february 2018 and bounty still good way to earn free money. but now, situation is so dificult. the market are down, a lot of participant, there's no potential project now.
I think you need sympathy for the project owner. The market is in downtrend and the project owner are also selling ICO not as good as expected, so the bounty rewards distribution process can not be quick, the costs incurred for large projects. Should projects usually freeze to wait for the market to recover
