To see the quality of his love for this forum is when every day someone posts something that he likes. The existence of a bounty program on this forum greatly affects the number of users here. But we cannot reject the negative and positive effects of the campaign, especially the signature campaign.
The negative effect is, as you can say, that some bounty hunters don't think about what they are promoting. They make the interests of money above all idealistic traits in this forum and this is very damaging to the ecosystem. They don't try to find out the project they are promoting more deeply. So that they do not realize that they are promoting a project that is not qualified, even a scam project. It's ridiculous, a person puts something new into their habits without knowing what they are carrying.

They post on this forum unlike their daily habit. Read threads, then post opinions without reading previous posts. Their real goal is not discussion, but rather the aim is to fulfill the weekly posting requirements so that bounty payments can be sent. And this is where the quality of the posts is less than the quantity of posts.

There is also a positive effect, indirectly the existence of bounties can be used as a promotional medium to get new members in this forum. Automatically, people who want money from the bounty, must register on this forum. That means that the number of users of this forum will be bigger and bigger. Traffic will increase and advertisers will continue to arrive. This cycle will continue so that the Bitcointalk forum will never die.

what we have to hunt down and eradicate is a project scam that has seriously damaged investor confidence, and that is our job as well. Bounty hunters can be overcome with new regulations such as this merit regulation, but scam projects are very easy to carry out open promotions here.

we must be skeptical on DeFi and not go with the hype, because only shit and fish carcasses always follow the flow of the river water
