Can we ever have a bounty campaign that stick to its Rules from the beginning to the end of the campaign. can that ever be possible just like the old days. bounty campaigns of early 2017 use to plead with participates.
Unfortunately, there is no chance that bounty campaigns can be back to those days when we can rely on the credibility of the people behind the project and running the campaign. These days people are more on what they can get and do not care if they bulldozed people to the side of the road, so to speak. I remember the days of 2017 where big projects really happen and many of them paid their bounty hunters well...but even then at that time scams were already rampant. These days, scams are still everywhere sadly we can't find good projects anymore even if we search the needle in the haystack.
The truth about New projects these days is none of them are real. all are fake and copy cats. Knows that they have nothing to offer. they are just after the Money. if they are fortunate to raise the money, fine business starts. but if not;everything scrap to the scratch. it all depends on the money. money first. once it is realized, they do everything possible to protect the money not the project. from the project CEO to CEO. to the legal team and the rest. Bounty participants are the LEAST in the list of Payment. before you join that bounty. Make sure you have the free time and won't regret in case target was not met.
Scammers do not care. To them bounty hunters are just another tools they can use to spread the buzz for the project. Sadly, even those that got the money, many of them are prone to be a scam as they now have the money under their own control they can run to nowhere and enjoy a life of abundance using the stash they got from the people. When we are dealing with scammers, we always lose at the end, wasting our time and effort for nothing. This is now the reality we have to face. And that is why I already stopped bounty hunting.
There will always be some changes in bounty campaigns, it always happen, it is to be expected since most of bounty campaigns wont be able to achieve their target's on the said date. They tend to extend or do another adjustment to at least get close to their goal.
There is nothing wrong with changing anything as long as everything is communicated to all stakeholders and that eventually the project will be paying the people who are toiling to make it more popular. We can understand that not all projects can be able to achieve according to plans so that changes can be necessary. What is worse is if the project is totally abandoned because the minimal cap is not reached and the team is not exerting the required effort to make the whole project a success.
