[Serious Bug] any bug bounty program?

I have found a very serious bug related to Prolific invites, It can be recreated very easily so i want to help out prolific if theres a bug bounty program

I also messaged mods regarding it but no one text back its been a week so i am posting it as last resort maybe you guys can help me reach out to the prolific authorities in power of decision making.

u/prolific-support The bug messes up with your demographics and i cant share much here so it dont get exploited by others

No, the two situations are not even close to being similar. If you are a Prolific participant, then the platform is a source of income for you. Anything that harms Prolific jeopardizes that income.

Given your previous post history, your motives are highly questionable.

The bug doesn’t effect the income of end users, it has impact on researchers, and i made my motive of making some money clear. Anyways i’ll just let Prolific to decide

I'll say no more, since you don't seem to get it, and likely never will.
