Bounty hunting has deteriorated over time and participation is reducing because several persons are no longer interested in the new projects altcoin. The chances of new projects making it big are getting slimmer by the day. The rewards are also getting reduced, we only need to be careful about choosing a project to participate in the bounty.
You are absolutely right! Bounty allocation is reduced by 70-80% than before. New projects are coming with only 20-30K USD budget and there has a lock-up period too. There was no worse time than now in bounty world, even 2018 the bear year had good bounties with a good budget. Some new bounties are coming with high budget but they go through P2PB2B exchange means sure-shot scam. People should stop doing shit bounties right now, otherwise, the situation will be worse!
