It is true that the reward hunters now get is so small compared to what was obtainable 2 to 3 years ago and not only that, it now takes more time to be paid than it was. So, instead of complaining, why not through some of the experience you have got, since your sojourn in the crypto space, explore other means through which you can earn more and fill your portfolio.
N.B:
This might be like a vital information. There are lots of projects that did bounty campaigns (although not all), which have decided to extent the time of payment of tokens to their bounty participants. Whose tokens are growing tremendously after listing on exchange. Which means that traders and investors of projects like these get their profits before bounty hunters are paid.
DISCLAIMER:: Although, this is not an investment advice, but an observation, which i have decided to call your attention to.
Well, it is always an available option. But then it is one thing to invest, whether during the ICO/IEO period or during the time when the coin is already listed on exchanges, and it is another to just work for it. Investing in a coin is risky and you also need to have the money for it. Joining bounty campaigns on the other hand does not cost you anything except the effort given to fulfill some tasks and a little more for the payment waiting. But that is all. There is not much risk and money needed. That is the easier choice of course.
