Free labor survey*

Totally agree, I wish they would at least offer some minimal amount of credits for legit (non-winning/non-spam) answers. But I guess it’s also good PR for them to say they did this initiative ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's a bug bounty program. Pretty standard.

I am not sure if this is a bug bounty program because only the top 10 participants receive the "bounty" and the instructions are pretty vague compared to e.g., https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/msrc/bounty-hyper-v?rtc=1.

Good point.

I dont think so, a bug bounty program is rarely subjective like this. You can test a solution.

Good point.
