It's better to earn real tokens, not fake ones as most of these ICO's are scams and they promise in any method to scam people. I joined so many Airdrops, bounties, but only 2 to 3 paid me and they were in less price. I wasted my time by promoting them on Social media sites.
I suggest you to discover much, but after all these also they don't pay anything for us.
"Losers quit when they fail. Winners fail until they succeed".
OP, have you forgotten that everything associated with/to cryptocurrency is complicated and full of risks? The very moment we've decided to be a part of an ICO [by joining their campaign or becoming an investor], we've already embraced enthusiastically all the risks involved - like unknowingly for us the ICO may be a scam. But by doing our own thorough research, we can avoid such projects.
We, as bounty hunters and/or investors simply cannot stop or change certain things from happening. We can only hope for good things to come about.
So i'd say, stand your ground, don't you give up...
