It will surely depend on what the project is, whether it is a legitimate project or not. It is more like a matter of luck, because sometimes, a project that is not so good fundamentally, but has high hype, there is a possibility that it will be valuable, although maybe only for a short time. However, there are also many whose results are really duds.
For example, when we try to follow events or programs like this many times, dozens of times, we may only find a few that are really worth it. So, you just have to be patient. and be smart in taking possible opportunities.
