Leaving bot accounts aside, I believe that the bounty era in which many claim to have made a lot of money may have come to an end. Perhaps in a few years it will return. As of 2018–2019, the forum's user base has rapidly increased, which has led to a greater number of campaign participants. Nowadays, sharing the same amount with more than 1000 individuals (multiple or bots accounts included) is different than sharing $50,000 with 200 participants. Even after taking all of this into account, some bounties are still bad projects, especially when the team refuses to pay and flees with the hunters' money. Perhaps bounties' glory days are over; hope they come again.
Maybe bounties are still here, it's just that they transformed themselves into what we call "giveaways" today. There are giveaways that require you to perform a few simple tasks to get them, like the MAXX Finance one for 5k MATIC tokens. It's a simple bounty where you like and follow on Twitter and join a Telegram account, nothing complicated. Also, you could say that beta test programs are often bounties by a different name too.
