Also, the increase in the defrauding of hunters after csmpaigns is another major issue. These factors have made hunting less appealing and rewarding generally. I doubt one can live off it.
I feel sorry the honest bounty managers and participants that can no longer find let alone promote honest projects.
Though the bounty campaign is not exactly closed yet the numbers are going down fast just as the numbers of IEOs begin take centre-stage.
Due to many fake bounties, many people are fed up with these bounties which they are getting any beneficial working for more than 3 months. Even IEO's coin after listing on the exchange may be not progressing its value to the further level.
