Most of these new bounties are scams and not paying projects, especially if they got low investors and not reached the desired market cap. Their number indeed increased, but for me, few bounties before are better than the increasing number bounties of today.
what you have said is the reality that has happened now, actually since 2018 this polemic has emerged but now it is getting worse and it seems that there is no alternative to being able to take precautions.
Actually, it's not just a matter of low investors, but even projects that have quite a lot of success and the behavior of owners and teams can change when making payments.
many excuses were made from that BH didn't contribute, the spreadsheet didn't show and the pay didn't match the spreadsheet, most of which were irresponsible with whatever BH said and they didn't want to pay.
we can understand if they are honest that the project is not successful and transparent, maybe BH will be able to accept that fact, but it is not transparent and does not pay, this is the current behavior.
