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.
Not everyone can leave the bounty hunting because they are stuck in the low profit and can't invest or trade full time because of the lack in capital. It is difficult to save a lot from bounty hunting and waiting for the exchanger eats a lot of time. And for the payment, if you found it earlier that it is delayed, may be you should evaluate the worth of continuing in that project because there are other projects out there that deserves your effort.
