Your assertion remains to be seen. There are still significant downsides to submitting prior art to the PTO that also existed when bountyquest was around.

The main serious issues are still the same, in fact:

1. If you submit prior art pre-grant, that's basically that. You don't get to argue about it, only the examiner does. If the patent issues, you've now lost a possibly valuable reference if the examiner didn't use it well enough.

2. If you challenge in any of the post-grant proceedings, you'll be estopped from suing on anything you raised or could have raised.
