Anyone participating in this program are cheap employees if you look at it from Google's perspective.

  Come on now. One guy is complaining and you made it look a hacker sweat-shop. You don't like the bounty, don't participate. As simple as that.

    Sure. A sweatshop with voluntary arrival and departure times.

    it doesn't matter if you get paid or not... the amount is too small for the risk you are taking, unless it's a hobby. But I think that most of these hackers work for free and never get paid (and also don't get any of the benefits from working directly for Google).

      Seems there is some misconception here: 1. I was not complaining that I did not get paid for this bug, but that different Bug Bounty programs have different thresholds on whether a vulnerability qualifies for a monetary reward. This seems like useful information for someone who would like to make a living out of bounty-hunting. 2. Even though I participate in these bounty programs as a hobby, which is about 1-2 days per month, I was already awarded generously. If I did this full-time, I would expect to earn a great deal more than when I would be working directly for Google (unless they have crazy wages)
