only pessimists assume that bounty campaigns are unpaid because there are many bounty campaigns that have been paid for by campaign managers. I only suggest choosing a bounty campaign from a trusted campaign manager who has a lot of experience managing bounty campaigns. so you won't make you wonder about bounty campaign payments.
There is hope to get income from bounties but we have to do research from each bounty and choose bounties from the best top managers, most bounties from top managers do not disappoint because they prioritize services for bounty hunters and escrow payments so it is guaranteed that bounty hunters will get paid from that campaign.
