In general, I started with bounty when they were already very popular and still managed to earn a little money. It all depends on whether you want to work.
Yes, id you are determined to work so nothing can stop you from nowadays people talk negative about bounty but for I think in crypto world ups and down are so normal and we will have to face it. Those who stand still and never give up a win at the end and one of my friends won huge amount of profit for being patient in the bounty campaign.
