| Aug 24, 2018 at 20:31 | comment | added | harrymc | I think so too, but I wanted first the reaction of people I know, especially moderators. What I got indicates that this would be hard going. | |
| Aug 24, 2018 at 20:17 | comment | added | harrymc | @JakeGould: I'm not talking waste but about human expectations. I have seen almost everything that can happen around bounties and the sometimes "feeding frenzy" that they generate. I'm not asking for changes in policy, just for consideration of my idea in the future in some way or means. | |

| Aug 24, 2018 at 18:53 | comment | added | harrymc | This is fine only in theory. For many posts, the poster and/or bounty person are the only ones really interested, so there is no evergreen pile of upvotes. If the post was very interesting, there would be no need of a bounty. | |
