Your thread won't stop scam bounty devs/team from their exit scam scheme, you could prolly be saying the truth when you say they need the hunters as well, but payment comes after the bounty is over, after the long weeks of advertisement, and many times, extending the campaign for a longer time; after that, the developers who are shady do not need the bounty hunters anymore, they have already executed their perfect scam and they take a bow with their exit along with investors money.
Truly I agreed and support your statement on this one dude, Developers mostly are only kind and understanding to their community especially for the bounty hunters in the beginning only. Then, once the bounty is done and successful some of them will make a drama that they need to extend their campaign even it is not in the plan from the beginning. But to be honest without the bounty hunters developers won't get a big fund from the community investors however in the end even the hunters they got scam to their work and effort promoting the campaign project.
