Some of the bounty hunters from before have already switched to joining signature campaigns or campaigns that pay in BTC. I was a bounty hunter too, but I stopped after the 2017 bull run. It slowed down because altcoins were hit hard by the number of scams at that time, so fewer people were investing. Even if there was a good project, the rewards weren’t that great, so overall, it became really tough to earn from bounties.
That is right and I think it is smart move that some bounty hunters have switched to signature campaigns which we can say BTC paying campaigns. And you are right after 2017 cryptocurrency bounty hunting became less profitable due to scams and decreased investment. Even good projects offered low rewards making it tough to earn living. It was wise to exit bounty hunting then. Now adapting to changing market conditions is good and exploring alternative opportunities like signature campaigns may provide more stability and rewards.
