I agree with you. A Hunter participate in many bounties at the same time. Some of these projects fail and some are successful and raise a good fund. It is normal that payment will not be received from those who are failing. But hunters can expect payment from a successful project. Most hunters are restless in nature. But I think smart hunters understand the situation.
why follow an unclear project?
choose projects more wisely. you will find projects that only pay quality. Those who appear to be paying off and making you doubt then leave.
Why work on a project that doesn't clearly pay us? since you are not gambling then you should not waste your time.
