aren't all bounty campaigns required standard social media, such as facebook, twitter, and instagram?

Not all project do that. In fact, they should never do that as it only causes potential investors to turn away. I think it's not effective either.

Depends on what their product is, signature campaign, content creation/translation and probably development bounty are better for them. I know two projects that instead of running a spam festival campaign, tried to engage with their community via various development and marketing bounty. By marketing, I mean connecting with potential clients directly and so on, instead of RT-ing their tweets.

Mostly as far as I know.

I mean, there are better alternatives. I'd far better prefer sponsored articles and sponsored videos on YouTube that are actually helpful and informative rather than just going straight-off to the social media spam route.

Bitcoin FTW!
Depends for me, I used to hop from campaign to campaign from time to time in the past as well and I generally prefer shorter campaigns if the pay is in some token or altcoin and longer ones if the pay is in bigger cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. I generally don't like to hop from campaigns much anymore, would rather stay in a longer lasting campaign for stability of pay.

I don't like campaigns that aren't run by a reputable member of the forum or are non-escrowed, or ones that have a high minimum post requirement. I don't have an exceptionally great amount of time to post on this forum so campaigns that provide flexibility of post count are great for me.

1) is short in length but may provide limited opportunity to earn coins or tokens
or
2) one that drags on for longer time periods (up to a year) but give you the opportunity to earn a larger share of the total bounty fund
It depends because campaign are of two type those which pay in bitcoin and those that pay in tokens,
unfortunately most, if not all, bounty campaigns are paid in their own (worthless) tokens
if paid by tokens I would prefer shorter campaign, so that I can decide a.s.a.p whether to sell or hold these tokens
why bother joining longer campaign with opportunity of bigger share of bounty, when in the end most will be zero value

If we would talk about Bitcoin paying campaigns, no doubt that people prefere long term campaigns which are running here for years.
I'm not bounty hunter and I never tried to participate in bounties, but I suppose that people prefer shorter campsigns. Seing huge number of scam ICO's, I think it's very risky to join long term bounties. Just imagine you're promoting project for almost year and in the end you won't get paid anything. It hurts. Offcourse, in short term campaign you also can be scammed, but your "losses" will be smaller.
And your bonus question - I hate social media campaigns. First, it's annoying to see all the reports on bounty threads (why they can use Google forms for it?). Second, I doubt that it can give much publicity to the project. Usually people are using fake Twitter/Facebook profiles with fake friends/followers for the campaigns. Or their friends/followers are just other bounty hunters who aren't interested in investing in ICO. I doubt that many potential investors see these posts on social media.

They all are after the sweet pot which depends upon the period (the longer they participate the bigger the share they will get). So IMO they love that but fear that they might scammed and all those works would be nothing.

You can pay them by releasing at certain time-points where you release portion of tokens as according to the work they done. This will maintain their interest going for the token reward and as well will make them feel secured to some extent.

1) is short in length but may provide limited opportunity to earn coins or tokens

If the allocation is followed properly and given until the end, then no problem about that limited opportunity since exact rewards will be received.

2) one that drags on for longer time periods (up to a year) but give you the opportunity to earn a larger share of the total bounty fund

Honestly it was also good but currently the status of bounty programs is not that good as before especially that majority of ICO's failed last year due to bearish market. Because of that, others lose interest in joining bounties now.

No one wants to waste time now because they didn't know if their effort will be paid, well there are still others who want to take the risks. Even someone will have a larger share and rewards were given properly in the end,  the question is, is it profitable or worth the effort? At most of the cases, coins ended up on a smaller exchange with small trading activity even they reached hardcap or quite raised a decent amount.

P.S My answer is basically pointing to the usual bounty programs (altcoin projects).

It depends because campaign are of two type those which pay in bitcoin and those that pay in tokens, when it comes to campaign that pay in bitcoin then I will rather go for a long term campaign that last for years and the other which is the bounty and you are paid at the end of the bounty and this usually take long time to achieve and in most cases end up as scam because there is no escrow or any agreement but if it a bitcoin campaign payments are made weekly which give you assurance.
What I dislike most is Bounty's that never pay worker's after a long period of hard work.

Ultimately it comes to campaigns that pay. There have been both kinda campaigns but when they paid, it was like your work, energy, time was worth it. If I even spent a minute or an hour or a year, it doesn't matter but I need to get paid for my work.

Also, I don't like long-term campaigns that pay after a year as I cannot trust a project not paying for such a long period. Max period should be 3-4 months and updates should be given about the progress of the sale and project.

Campaigns don't escrow the funds and hence the funds should be escrowed and probably it should be an amount BTC/ETH or any other popular coin (a percent of the bounty) so if the project fails to accumulate the said funds or the project fails to launch despite collecting the soft-cap, the participants are atleast rewarded a small amount for the effort they have taken.

On signature campaigns: Campaigns that are reputable and run for long periods of time, as I just want to casually contribute and converse here while earning a decent amount of bitcoin, without actually looking for other campaigns to hop to every month of every few weeks.

Hello all,

Looking for some feedback on this particular topic. In general as a participant in bounty campaigns would you rather have one that:

1) is short in length but may provide limited opportunity to earn coins or tokens

or

2) one that drags on for longer time periods (up to a year) but give you the opportunity to earn a larger share of the total bounty fund

Let me know your thoughts and why!
