Do not believe on what YouTubers say about bounties- most are filled with scams that only wastes your time and it also contributes to the overall spam in the forum.
Most of the people that do post on YouTube will only post because they need people to subscribe and they need views, so they will only talk about bounties that paid well, or when bounties were still paying well, they won’t tell anybody about the shit bounties that’s rampant on the forum currently, because they believe if they talk about it, then people won’t subscribe to their page, so they will rather lie and talk about the bounty that paid well even if the person didn’t participate in the bounty campaign. That's why I don’t really trust most of the videos I see on YouTube because most of them are fake and they are just looking for ways to make money.
I have noticed that majority of the newbies who create their account in this forum are so inclined in joining bounties. I mean, I understand that you guys want to earn/make money but this method is not as effective compared to other methods in this forum.
Bounties do pay sometimes, but currently the bounty section is just full of shit and scam bounty campaigns. That's why if anybody wants to earn on the forum here, then it’s better for the person to ready to learn and impact the little knowledge they have on others, am sure with that, they will be able to build their account and participate in signature campaigns, but you will have to be dedicated if you really want to rank up your account.
