I don't agree to the part where you stated that bounty is free money.
You dont have to agree or disagree. We are all entitled to our own opinions.
Bounty is not airdrop so I don't see how it is free money.
Airdrop is a way of collecting people's personal data for selling on the internet. Did you know that? Thats why I like to use the words like that. Bounties are not bad things but they have been made to look in the context of ICOs and so on has been bad. It was supposed to be a rewarding system for the people who promoted the project and from there is went to a spamming fest to make money by less income countries.
Don't forget that hunters also expend mental and material resources to promote the project. So bounty reward is payment for marketing work done.
Thats correct and I hate to say that bounty hunters if having such skills are wasting them by writing articles and doing translations. Rather they should use it on bitcoin paying services and real life work. Because in the end bounty tokens are 99% going to be useless while bitcoin and fiat are not.
