That is why DYOR is very important when joining a bounty coz some projects like this is using some names just to gain hunters that will promote their project.
don't waste your time on projects like that and you better choose projects listed on other exchanges, for example from bounty detective I see a lot of their projects listed on the exchange are more promising than azbi it's just that I don't know whether the reward is guaranteed or not .
That's the right thing to do, look for a better options and opportunities like what you said. Bounty Detectives has a plenty of goods projects but the thing is that being with a good projects meaning a lot of participants would join and less rewards for every participants plus, most of the projects that BD is handling have low pool rewards that makes even lower bounty rewards for bounty hunters.
I don't see any really good projects at Bounty Detective, they have a lot of bounty on a big budget. But after the bounty ends, the price collapses several times or delays delivery. There are also a lot of people participating in their campaigns and it makes people get very little money after months of work.
I just came back to being a hunter after a year of resting and now i joined to every Bounty Detective's campaign and hopefully it turns out atleast good. But yeah it's true that there are lots of participants. I wish they could just limit it every campaign.
