still have projects that pay and give hunters a small amount of money. But most bounty projects usually pay unsold coins very little, which is done after paying the hunters once the coins are worth it. However, if you know how to select some good bounty projects, they can be better than airdrops because sometimes they pay coins, and after listing their prices, their prices can be x more than the initial coin distribution for the bounty.
it's all highly depends on the fact that someone needs to know selecting a project which has potential, it's no different than investing, with bounty, if the project has good potential, by holding alone it could increase the bounty rewards.
The quality of bounty projects now is different from previous bounty projects, I have reviewed from the bounty community that they get high income from bounties and even holding them will get 2x higher than selling when distributing tokens, but now there are many scam bounty projects and we have to frequently review there may be projects bounties that are potential high earnings that will be posted in the future.
