I have overhead many people in various bounty groups talking about how bounty campaigns are gonna die should we move on from ICO to rampant IEO issuance (maybe the exchanges shall take over the advertisements or so).
Fact is that if IEOs become a thing, many projects will arise and hence the services of bounty hunters shall be required again. Every project needs advertisements to expand and that's why we are there as bounty hunters. This is the same way ICOs grew in number.
All we should hope for is a better crypto ecosystem because at the end, we shall be needed for promotion in one way or the other
Not every exchange has a deemed popularity. So people are still hearing from social news which the hunters doing. Some shilling by hunters are still effective of marketing if the project is really need an audience for their product. So I'm not convince that bounty will disappear even with the release of many IEO now.
