It is a fact that the bounty programs have not been an efficient means to promote the new cryptocurrencies, because there is a growing number of developers who seem willing to abandon the current system of bounties that has existed to date in cryptospace, to look for new schemes of promotion, more efficient and with greater projection.

However, I do not think the bounties will disappear soon, but I would expect them to gradually begin to diminish in importance, so maybe it's time for all those who had made the bounty hunt their way of life, start looking for new alternatives to obtain income.
