From where we were in 2017 the model has changed. IEOs/ICOs have reduced the opportunity to earn bounties....but that's also systematic of the difficult time crypto has had in the last two years. Should we find ourselves in a bull market again, and "alt season" really kick in....I'm sure we'll see bounties pick up again. Not sure they will ever reach the profitability heights of 2017, but don't see things getting much worse than they are now.
