At least on most sites there are not any bounties to play for, until players are already in the money. So up until that point it should play pretty much like a normal MTT. But there is still some value in making it into the money with a large stack, because then you can contend for bounties, once they come into play. If you just made it into the money with a 5BB stack, and everyone else at your table have 15-50BB, you only won half as much, as you would in a regular MTT. So you dont want to be overly obsessed with min-cashing at the expense of building a big stack.

When the bonutys become active everyone goes crazy, but understandably you can win more with a bonuty than on the final table, when the bonutys come I call more loosely and more aggressively, trying to shake the other players

It's a love-hate relationship with that format. I won the biggest prize of my life, but I still think it's bingo

IIRC, generally you don't hunt for bounties unless the player you are attacking is going to bust and in general your calling range is not much bigger than in regular MTTs, so those who call too wide against someone who is not busting are usually just making a bad play.
