In my opinion, Bounty performance in terms of budget and payment to hunters has been on the decline for the past 10 months. Out of many campaigns that I have participated in (for the past 10 months), only about 5 campaigns made payment in the range of $10 to $40, while two campaigns paid in the range of $200. Most of the payments are less than $1. On the average, for every ten projects that I have participated in, five ends up being scam, or will have one issue or the other.

I observed that project owners are the most free entities, because it seams there is nothing to hold them. I have participated in over 15 campaigns that ends up with the project owners refusing to pay, or simply refusing to communicate and that is it. Many campaigns end up just after one week, and no payment. Bounty hunters, in my opinion are really being exploited. Sometimes I wonder if bounty hunting has become a charity of some sort because they end up not getting rewarded in many instances. There is hardly any payment being made. I have observed two scenarios: Listed tokens either pay peanuts (usually less than 5 USDT worth of tokens) or they will keep holding the tokens for several months, even though they are listed; the other scenario is to pay tokens that are yet to be listed.

My other observation includes: Some projects hold on to listing for many months waiting for the bull market; Some escrow projects end up paying worthless amount of tokens some not even up to $1. In my opinion, bounty hunting is dying and even participants are declining. Hunters only look out for few campaigns by some managers that may fetch some fair campaigns. I will suggest publishing scam campaigns in this forum so as to serve as a caution to project owners who now have freedom to do as hey want and nothing holds them. They waste people time and go freely. Secondly, why is it not possible to make all campaigns escrow? Unlisted tokens should pay in USDT. Hunters must not wait for years to get their rewards because the token they promoted have not been listed. IMO, I think hunters task is more to promote the project than an investor so why won't they be rewarded timely?
