True most of the bounty hunter that I know already quit and focus on trading.
I also quit on joining bounty campaign because I don't earn a decent amount from it and I don't think that it is still worth it anymore.
Bounties in some point can be use at a side job, you can still work with it and try some luck to find good projects to work with, while if you have some funds and you are willing to take the risk playing against those giant traders, it's also a good venue to earn some decent profits when you have a good insight of coins to trade.
