Most bounty hunters never do any analysis before prompting a project, at least a minimum research should be done. But they promote every project they see. Most projects turn out to be scam. I agree that hunters are also responsible for the success of this scam because they helped the project to grow but how many hunters care about other people's money? If they do, they would never promote every bounty.
It must be noted especially for the social media hunters. They never try to care with any awareness about the scam project. they are blindly promoting any platform. What they are thinking about more quantity and that means more reward that they will get it. The problem is even the scam bounty has become a confirmed scam bounty and they keep create a report in the thread.
Are they bots? The bots will never hear or see that. Any awareness will be useless as these bots didn't care about that.
