I think all things we experienced in joning bounty campaign is natural nature of life , in this world having difficulties in life is part of being human, that's why we don't need to be upset because of what happen to day, just remember if you put many tomatoes in one basket few of them are not good just like bounties campaign here in this forum.
Mostly in the different side, most bounty are not that good unlike before. With your example, basket of tomatoes compared to bounties that's vice versa.
Bounty promotions ain't paying the same way before, or if they are paying it's not that much, you are just lucky if you able to gain decent.
Some good project though really paying huge, if you able to land to this kind of bounty then surely you'll be more than happy and won't be crying from here but for sure you'll be thankful as you get something great from your participations.
