What makes you think they didn't also get a nice letter?

  By default, it can't be a 'nice' letter if it contains an insulting message - which is what's communicated by that level and type of reward. My point is Yahoo's message to the people would have been taken better as /just/ a letter, than a letter and a far undervalued "reward".

    Perhaps the idea was to say "hey, thanks, here's a tshirt. Instead of us picking one, you go ahead and pick out any one you like." Or is a letter and a novelty gift also an insult?

      Picking out a novelty gift would be fine, you could even have put some thought in to what it would be; acting like giving me the funds equivalent to a novelty gift is a reward tells me the precise dollar value you attached to my work, which is insulting. The funds are considerably more impersonal than simply giving a gift and demonstrate in a concrete way the low value it was given by Yahoo - not even worth a personal email to ask about tshirt size/style.

  I think he is saying that a letter an no money would be better than a letter and a pathetic amount of money. Getting a pathetic amount of money is more insulting than not getting any money.
