The AMI Bounty surely doesnt runs perfectly yet, however it is simply false to say that they did nothing. One fact that there is so much bad blood on the AMI Bounty comes from the fact that they operate insanely transparent and they shouldn't be slashed for being that open with their operations. From recent talks, e.g on AAG we are able to gain a better understanding, learning that there has been quite some work done to setup an improved bounty management strucutre and to move the bounty towards effective operation (which is lacking generally at most Bounties), therefore voting NAY on closing the bounty. Lets give the folks the time they need to further progress, they have proven to be open and transparent in their work and to effectively improve over time.

Hello everybody, I am Bob and I have been one of the curators on this bounty for the last ~month (not a part of the original curator set). The AMI bounty has been receiving a lot of attention after the creation of this referenda and there has been a lot of uninformed assumptions that have translated to public discourse. I love public discourse. :) I am humbly volunteering to answer any questions or concerns that anybody may have about details regarding the AMI bounty as they consider how to vote on this referenda. I feel the need to note that I will be doing this as an individual. I am not here as an official mouthpiece for the entire curator set of the AMI bounty, but as a single curator that is a part of that set. However, I can confidently say that the AMI bounty as a whole is committed to transparency and welcomes any questions or feedback that the community may have. Please feel free to reply to this post with any questions or concerns that you have. I will answer to the best of my ability.
