This does not happen in all cases. Although i most times prefer to join bounty with shorter duration of time and the reason being that, it has been a part of me to finish a task early and move on to the next one.
There were times i participated in bounty with extended period of time, yet the rewards were good, but i have noticed something. Most times, when it comes to signature campaign, a highly ranked member who participates in a project with longer duration will get more reward compared to when it is shorter.
all depends on the maturity of the roadmap along with their campaign, all projects are almost the same ie raising participants and ico within 3 months, it's normal
there are other cases where ico is extended, many cases like this are pressed because the project does not touch softcap hardcap and it's a bad alarm in my opinion.
there are also cases where the campaign time is only a month, here too many ico are failing due to less mature preparations to attract investors
there is no guarantee of certainty, I can only confirm from a large number of active campaign participants because I assume almost more than 50% of the investors come from their own participants.
