If you are a developer and you develop a new project and build a good team and after several months of promoting the project you don't met your expectations yet you never give up won't others say bad thing about the project and the teams? This is happening with few good projects in crypto space but many failed to understand, they want their half cake quickly e.g bounty hunters, to say the truth it's not easy to be a developer, not all projects that failed are bad, they might not just meet their expectations
I do agree with you that not all projects are bad and sometimes, the good turns bad and the bad turns good equally.
And when it comes to investors and bounty hunters, i do not think there is anything like half cake
As bounty hunters, the aim and goal is to work and get paid for work done which should be the normal situation of things.
While for investors, the aim is to always get profit.
In which ever case you fall, All you have to do is dyor before making your choices.
