Yes, bounty programs are no longer as hot as they used to be. Now that everything can happen, good projects can turn into worse and sad ones, more and more fraudulent projects.
Potential projects now don't need marketing, they just need to contact Binance Exchange or Huobi Global to be able to sell more tokens.
That's it, we're currently working on bad projects.

How I wish there were a decent number of bounty hunters especially old-timers who would be willing to compile and archive collective experiences with bounty hunting. It would be interesting and would be a great guide for bounty hunting if data or some sort of comprehensive history on bounty hunting is accessible somewhere. I'm picturing a chronological list of crypto projects which conducted bounty campaigns with some summary of their success or not-so-successful stories. Historical accounts should have info on names of major proponents associated with each project, info on valuation of incentives provided during or distributed after campaign, so on and so forth...
yes for the problem of disappointment of course all bounty hunters feel it, but I am more concerned with investors because they are actually 2x more disadvantage compared to hunters for example project 2017/2018 many of them experience the destruction of value and the worst is almost all the bounties that I follow experience this. I remember having a token with a price of $ 2-5 / Token now the price of the token is only less than $ 0.1, and I sell them when approaching $ 2 in the past and imagine there are investors who buy this tokens and don't do cutloss 
I agreed, investors are more hammered than bounty hunters with failed projects. There is one project( not disclosing name ) whose token was sold at $.03 during IEO and now trading at 1 sats,just think about the investors who bought this coin at $.03. Although this project has good product and backed by dedicated team even they distributed bounties genuinely but price is drastically down, it may give profit in future but who knows when. I think the over all environment for crypto project is not good currently. It is very important to regain investor's faith in crypto projects.
If we talk about this year and the last year, become a bounty hunter will make us a headache because almost all project become a scam. The other project has delayed its phase until the unknown time, especially if the market does not come back to the normal situation.
Many projects have run out of their expectation because they are hard to survive and continue the project. So they decide to shut down the project for a while. Some of them choose to continue, but they don't give the reward for many months.
But you can hope that your rewards in the token will be worth in the future, especially if the market can recover from the bear market. So maybe we will see the project will be rise again in the future and the token will also rise too. So be patient for more and don't give up to see another chance that will come to you.

Sometimes you tend to do the opposite, there are a lot of bad reports about a certain project, but you still continue because you find something about the project, one example that I've promoted that has a lot of bad reports, I stopped promoting it when scam reports escalate was Adab solutions, I'm surprised that I still receive my tokens, but this project is still hanging.
I do not do this every day, but last night I checked all my bounty hunting files from social media, signature and article marketing, I am very disappointed, only 5% of my bounty campaigns proved to be successful, what I mean successful is it's worth the profit after many months of the campaign.
One disappointing side of it is the projects that I thought are legit are the one that turns out to be scams and the project that I thought will not turn out to be good turns to be profitable.
Things are not good in bounty campaign at this point of time, what proves to be a source of excitement to bounty hunters is now the agony of bounty hunters
Yes, bounty hunters are quitting the job day by day because it's not really profitable anymore but there are still bounty hunters who have trust in cryptocurrency that it will recover soon. Its very hard to pinpoint a project if its really a legit or will not dump below ico price nowadays. One disappointing side of it is the projects that I thought are legit are the one that turns out to be scams and the project that I thought will not turn out to be good turns to be profitable.

Unfortunately, for bounty hunters this is really a really bad time to work. The teams of ICO projects after its completion, as a rule, begin to deceive the participants of the bounty campaigns. Previously, this was a rarity, but now it is a rarity to fulfill the previously agreed conditions. A vivid example is Miracle Tele, which paid passive income in euros on its website, and now those who did not withdraw it are going to re-read the already paid amounts, intending to reduce them by about five times. This can already be called direct fraud. Therefore, I never trusted those projects that pay bounty hunters on their sites, and not in the wallets we specified. Now this is a mass phenomenon. The ICO project teams promise us to pay their tokens to the wallets we provided, but already during the ICO they change their minds and say that the payment will be either on their website, for which they need to register, or in their wallets, which almost always cause various problems.
It's also been a problem by the bounty hunters who participated and believes with so much promises coming from the developers who you can think that will not do any harmed with their projects, the team that you think is much safer to support and much better to follow are also scamming or making such actions that is no longer favorable to the bounty hunters, it's so many factors that influenced the actions of the team but most of that is always in there favor, there's nothing left for the hunters but hope for luck.

And how do you measure the success? For me is much important how much money I earn from the campaign than if ICO becomes successful.One disappointing side of it is the projects that I thought are legit are the one that turns out to be scams and the project that I thought will not turn out to be good turns to be profitable.

Give me an example. I participated in Harmony bounty campaign - this project is successful, listed on Binance, but the reward was only few dollars. I would prefer more dollars now, than believe in the success of the project.

You shouldn't blame yourself for bounty decision making,i am in a similar shoe as you are,the issue with bounties is trick projects have make each new projects terrible looking,like at any rate you take a gander at new projects they are just tricks however the fact of the matter is there is no real way to know which bounty task will end up being successful,no one can and regardless of how great are get at getting along explores One disappointing side of it is the projects that I thought are legit are the one that turns out to be scams and the project that I thought will not turn out to be good turns to be profitable.

Very true as you say.This phenomenon has been happening for a long time, so many projects are ongoing, thus making it difficult for bounty hunters to make choices.
Almost all bounties offer promising concepts, but in the end very much that makes the bounty hunter disappointed.

my advice, don't judge a book by its cover, look and understand the contents first, Only then can we make the right choice. I do not do this every day, but last night I checked all my bounty hunting files from social media, signature and article marketing, I am very disappointed, only 5% of my bounty campaigns proved to be successful, what I mean successful is it's worth the profit after many months of the campaign.

The ICO market is itself dead or on the verge of dying! Millions of investors were duped by these unknown start ups which actually paved the way for loosing credibility of ICOs. When investors are not getting profit, what bounty hunters can expect? I too also active in the bounty hunting earlier, but I have noticed that the profit is not worth the time I was spending on bounties so I have moved out of this market. I still have millions of tokens in the ETH wallet which has no value at all and not being traded in any exchanges.
There was a project called Coin Janitor which was initially gave me hope that I will be able to unlock the values of the dead coins but they also seem to be not helpful much!
i know this is hard to hear and i am sorry to say this but they deserve what they get.
when people stop caring what they advertise and start getting involved with all kinds of scam and garbage and help these scammers get their victims, then there is really not much room for them to complain about their profitability of doing so!
when you see some useless token that is trying to get investors you should stay away from it instead of helping them "spread the word". but when you don't you will also become one of their many victims.

Personally, I believe that bounty hunters still work and earn rewards. But still you need to look and work hard in search of good bounties. Since there are still many promising projects on the market. Which still can bring good profit for bounty hunters. Good luck to everyone.
Bounties used to be pretty lucrative, you could easily get $100-300 per campaign for just doing some retweets or translating or posting, and a significant amount of my current Bitcoin holding is thanks to bounties, but I have stopped bounty hunting as soon as I saw signs of quick decline, and I switched to more productive activities. I feel sorry for people who do bounties today, they are probably misguided by stories from the past or just very desperate, though in their situation even faucets and captchas would provide higher rewards.
Bounty hunters are only respected at the period when the bounty is ongoing. After the campaign, they are threatened to be banned from group even if they ask about distribution or listing date. Their bounty rewards will be withheld for months all because developers think they would dump their tokens. Bounty hunting is really sad these days.
Unfortunately you are right, my friend. Once the bounty campaigns were for attracting money to worthy projects, but now it’s just a way to make money for scammers. However, decent projects are appearing now, but there are too few of them.
I guess most bounty hunters including me share your sentiment but there is almost nothing we can do to prevent it. Adding to this injury, is that some projects which conducted bounty campaigns, deceive their participants by rewarding their efforts with significantly very low amount compared to what was expected based on the bounty spreadsheet resulting to the disappointment of bounty participants.
TBH: Ever since the IEOs are launched it's getting harder and harder to find good projects which are running a bounty campaign.
And when we find a good project to participate they unlock the rewards after a really long wait.
