I do triage and analysis work for a somewhat niche bug bounty platform. Before this, I also did quite a bit of bug bounty hunting.

I was sloppy. I wrote crap reports, complained about triage, etc.

Then I got better and eventually landed a job.

I don't think most of you here understand what doing triage actually entails. Most of the comments seem to show absolutely no regard for the fact that triagers are human professionals who, in most cases, are paid pennies for extremely long hours, often working under impossible quotas and external pressure.

During my time as a triager, I've heard about people being stalked on their social media accounts and messaging apps, harassed into getting their reports read first, and even outright doxxed. I am saying "heard of" only to keep myself detached personally.

I understand that hunting for bugs is frustrating. I've been there, and I still experience that frustration frequently.…
