I've asked this before, but I don't think I've gotten an answer: are there more bounties/campaigns going on now than there have been, say, for the last year or two? I'm just wondering because it really seems like there have been a lot more shitposts in the sections I frequent, and the forum had been pretty readable for quite a while up until recently.

If you look at the list of campaigns:

And compare to a year ago:

Or two years ago:

There is an increase in the number of campaigns, but not much. On the other hand, that's just the ones that pay in BTC. Worst shitposters carry shitcoin signatures, like asrinur above. I definitely agree with you that there are more shitposts recently. Probably a combination of increased bounty activity (we're still in a bull market, sort of), lax moderation, and reporting fatigue.
