As long as new projects and coins enter the cryptocurrency world, as well as this forum exists, Bounty programs will run. These new projects and old projects which wish to refine their strategies need the help of bounty hunters to spread the awareness across all over the globe.
I feel like the bounty programs are dying off slowly but surely. It seems that swarms of hunters come in and spam vs providing meaningful influencing. The projects also are guilty as they treat hunters like scum which in turn causes the good ones to leave and creates an over abundance of the bad hunters. The cycle is vicious and will eventually kill bounty hunting.
