Are bounties dead?

[Smack That Ace]

Honestly, I'm still new here.also don't know whether the current bounty is still profitable or not when compared to previous years. but for me personally there is an exception only to join project that are managed by a trusted bounty manager.

In my opinion, the current bounty campaigns are junk and worth nothing. most of the projects that launch the bounty program come from junk ICO projects and have no capital to develop the project and they need community attraction, unlike projects sponsored by IDO, IEO others

Choosing projects managed by a trusted manager can reduce your risk of getting scammed but still there is no guarantee that it will give you the return you deserve. Besides participating in bounty campaigns, I think you can refer to testnet, retroacitve. These are the forms that are gradually replacing the old bounty campaigns and have significant profit potential.

There are more participants compared with a few years ago when you will be rarely seeing people use bots. This caused by the bullish market was triggering so many social media participants to joins. Some bounty may still worth but i can't deny that if some are not worth to be joined. The bounties are not yet dead as more bounties are still coming with various mechanism like stable token payment or token payment but it seems like that managers need to put more restriction in the social media bounties as these being used by some participants do spam.
I see that so many spam that didn't needed happened and that's why a better requirements must be needed to prevent these spam accounts.

After running several bounty campaigns I have noticed that they only attrach bot accounts, multiple fake accounts controlled by one person or low quality accounts that can not even give adequate comments - it is not the same as it used to be back in the days in 2018. Where has all the quality crowd gone?

Left already. Those quality one earned already from previous bounty season and now become a trader and investors now. They gained enough to stop bounty hunting. Well thats could be the reason since the one left are the bots and if not bot, a total newbie whom cant be called a qualified hunter for promotions. Im afraid only few left on the real marketers.

I reject your point mister, there are many projects that launched bounties in the past and are big in the market today, they raised a hugh amount of money and nothing stopped them, the trick is choosing the projects wisely, alchemy, cartesi, Ferrum, HEX and so on did bounties in the past, I was so unlucky but my friend joined all and made good rewards.

For now, the bounty is not dead, although at first many did not give good results, but many bounty managers currently use the escrow system, so that payments seem to be far from fraudulent. and it can be seen that currently there are more and more bounty participants, even though the rewards obtained are not as big as last year, but at this time it is still worth it in my opinion if it is practiced. especially if the bounty manager often has successful projects, more and more participants will register if it is not limited

You have told the reason yourself as why the bounties are useless for both the bounty hunters and the project owners. Since there is no quality work being done by the bounty hunters, the project usually gets no marketing or investment. For this reason, many projects are unable to gain the investments. Also the project onwers are not willing to spend the money on bounty hunters becasue they feel that thier investment will be in vain.

The reason why bounties are so messed up isn't because of low rewards its because many don't get paid and some projects even turned scams, my bounty advice is know who you choose to follow, the most important part is the bounty manager you choose and the quality of the project you choose to promote.

[TopT3ns]

Several participants here active on signature service bitcoin campaign with weekly payment and you can see their signature code, but I don't agree with your opinion bounties are dead because have several potential bounties campaign right now still paid. But need waiting with payment distribution not faster like 2016 or 2017, few days after bounties ended payment distributing and coin listing on exchange market and usually on forkdelta. I am still active with bounty altcoin campaign and some time on service bounty signature depending with much reward allocation and for bounty altcoin I am looking for with escrowed payment.

because indeed when there are more and more scam projects, I think the bounty hunter will also work as he pleases. because they are also not so sure will be paid or not at the end of the campaign. so they work as they please.
The quality of the manager is also related to the quality of a good project. it will also determine the eligible campaign participants. There will be a price and there will also be quality, I'm sure the bounty manager also thinks so.

[mzuhry19]

The bounty is still there but the reward is not as big as before, I think it's back to the bounty manager because he has strict rules regarding multiple accounts, we entrust the bounty to the bounty manager

[YellowSwap]

Escrowed bounty campaigns have erased the doubt and fear of not getting paid and its good to see many bounty managers taking this path as well, this will encourage bounty participation, I advise you guys to stick with bounties that use escrow, getting paid is assured.

It is true that in the sector of the altcoin bounties it is really hard to find really good bounties nowadays. The problem is that the projects that are already in demand and that are already in the focus of investors and VC's don't really need a bounty because their private Sale and public sale will be sold out anyway. That is the reason that 95% of the altcoin bounties are from meme-coin that no one wants and no one needs or from other copy projects that are just not in demand.
That being said, from time to time there is still a good altcoin bounty available too. More than a year ago i was part of the Signature Bounty from Radix and there i earned more per week then i do now with my BTC paying bounty. So it is still possible to find good altcoin bounties in here.

[Dr.Osh]

most of the bounty hunters you are looking for have found other places to make money, maybe they are now successful in trading, staking, and others. seeing so many bounties being scams nowadays, I think it's a pretty good decision.
for now, there are so many new accounts trying to massively promote the bounty project. I see that very many newbies do the same. Well, if it's controlled by one person, then the main goal is to promote, but I think the way is wrong. Therefore, some people prefer bounties that have escrow, or bounties with limited participants. it's more secure, and I think the bounty manager did some research before accepting entrants to get them to do the promotion.

Although many bounty campaigns have ended in scams, that doesn't mean the bounty is dead now. Requires caution in choosing a good
bounty campaign, as you said there are still participants of the bounty campaign, because we still find good bounty campaigns if we look
for them properly. Although it must be admitted that currently the pay from the bounty campaign is very small, at least it is still a good choice
for side jobs. So make sure to choose a bounty campaign that uses an escrow system, then study the track record of the development team,
and my suggestion is to choose a bounty campaign that uses a bounty manager who already has a good reputation in this forum.
And don't get our hopes up too high on the bounty campaign, because sometimes the results are far from what we imagine. Therefore,
don't focus too much on earning from the bounty campaign.

Maybe those who are qualified already have better and more worthy jobs to do than have to take care of the bounty which in the end can be a scam so that there will be a lot of people who will blame them, even though the performance of these quality people is actually not that much different from people today, it's just that in terms of responsibility maybe they can make a difference and in 2018 there were also many failed bounty campaigns and scams due to the bear market conditions at that time.

That is why, as person who run a bounty you must have the ability or strategy to be able to choose qualified participants who can have a good impact of the promotion made, unfortunately because no guarantee will get good results from bounty then you will always find multi accounts because participants hope get more by using many accounts.

[traderethereum]

The bounties are not dead but still running now. Although it uses a different name, its purpose is the same as before.
About the participants, I think there were many new people, and not bot, well, some of them are bot but we are hard to check one by one because there are too many of them who joined as the participants.
One trend is to show up, gain attention from the people, and slowly increase and reach the peak while many other similar projects are launched and hope that they can get the same attention from previous projects, but the trend is almost down and that will replace with the next trend.
The bounties will follow that, whether we know or do not know so the bounties will continue.

Bots and plagiarism was a problem then as well. In fact at some point they were in this forum farming accounts. I think that you are just paying more attention to it this time. Most twitter accounts used in bounties were desinged for only that, most youtube accounts were crap, and translations were low effort if not even made with google translate. Paraphrased articles/reviews etc. Not to mention the multiple telegram accounts posting nonsense.

[Outhue]

Only very limited projects still use bounty hunters to promote their projects this day and most new projects are from developers that aren't ready to spend a dime, many are looking for free promotions and paying with their shit tokens in return which is why it's very good to be picky when looking for projects to promote.

[Adbitco]

The only reason why it attracts most low-quality accounts or multiple alt accounts is due to the project they are trying to promote.
What I see most of the bounties there are fake coins or tokens or ICOs with no value and most of them are scams.
That is why it's not worth the effort to promote. Unlike before most of the bounties that I see are real and surely it has a value after being listed on exchanges and the project is serious, unlike these days.

I see your point, but it also feels like the crowd has moved away - there were tons of hyped scam projects in 2018 - and yet there were a lot of support. It feels like crypto fans have changed the platform and here bounties are only crowded by  fake account

Bounty programs, their time has passed, at least in the most common form that has arisen in 2017-18. thanks in large part to fake accounts. The reason why they still exist is that new "projects" (if we can call them projects) are mostly naughty and worthless. they are started without real capital, so it is easier to offer worthless tokens with an inflated value just to raise any dust around them.
as projects do not have any basic value, nor do they pay for promotion with real value, the current bounty program mode is their only option to be visible.

a good portion of the responsibility for the poor criteria and quality of the participants in the bounties is on the backs of campaign managers. There are more and more of them, they lower the price of work and accept every new project, without special checking and research about it. with the low cost of running a campaign, comes lower quality, hence the tolerance for fake accounts.

Although there is something we also need to understand about project of nowadays being bounty is that during 2017 to 2018 the population then that was promoting project were very minimal and there was not lot of hunters also people have little knowledge about bounty's so it pays then but today we can many users unlike the newbies anymore focused on to join bounties at last they got paid with the project token. This could be the cause of fake account, multiple account ect just focusing of accumulating much rewards to be able have something good due to much applicants.

i don't think anything changes or have effected or affected bounties. Statistically from early 2021 to 2022 currently there have been good bounties but since from late 2018 to late 2020 there have been numerous scammed projects.
