Since the year of 2018 the number of scam projects have started to increase, that is why investors and bounty hunters have lose their trust in new projects because most of the time the team members are making a lot of excuses when there are some delays in distributing their rewards and some team members have run away.
It is true that in that year many projects failed and have taken investors' money and even in my opinion almost 70% of the projects ran away I think there is also disappointment of investors and hunters towards new projects now and some of them have stopped choosing new projects as good profit.
Maybe now investors will choose the best according to them and not focus too much on new projects because it takes a long time to develop a project in the near future.
