Did you make your money through bounty? Even if when bounty section was hot and paying I haven't been here but I have done some research on it.
If only you are there during the time it was hot and trending youll definitely get some good money on them. But since then it was not really profitable in my opinion hence maybe some still able to get but not comparable to the past where only few people are doing the bounty campaign. Now peanut moneys are on altcoin bounty. Much better to do some task on testnet or retroactive potential airdrops but that one needs gas fee or funds to be able to be eligible.
Agreed, bounties now are not like bounties in the past and many scam projects try to get free promotions from members, the purpose of scam projects wants to get initial funding from investors and there is no guarantee that those funds are used for liquidity on dex, in fact they only list coins on low reputation exchanges. Participating in potential airdrops is much better, the trend of reactive airdrops is very popular because it has been proven to provide high income from Uniswap to the SUI project.
