time is not everything. Profits from bounties generally depends on number of participants and not duration, unless if more people join at the end. The lesser the people, the more the profit or proceed.
indeed the situation at this time is experiencing a decline but all of that does not rule out the possibility that profits will not come, that profit will surely come with time, even though the number of participants affects profits, but surely the profits will return as before. just believe, over time it will return, though not completely.
