..... Not only money, but they also lose the chance for spreading their companies when article contributors take up most of the limited slots available and just post "reserved" after the title. I've seen so many of these in eligible sites, and I wonder if the contributors are actually doing the ICOs a favor in exchange for their tokens... maybe not.
Article writing has become the favorite choice of bounty hunters since they only need to secure their slot, and work on their articles later, social media bounties wherein you have to like, share, post on a daily basis that could take months. Some samples that I saw were already two-three weeks old and are still empty bearing only "reserved". Very counter-productive to say the least.
Those respected bounty managers must prevent this from happening by outright removal of the "reserved" and give the slots to members who are actually posting well-written and complete articles. my 2 cents
