Won't tech companies just post honeypot bounties and see who bites?

I find this disingenuous. You explain how you verify that the employees work for big tech on your FAQ. It would be trivial for companies of this size to go backwards.

I’m sure your motives were good, but I’d urge you to think this through.

Hehe, you've learned well the SV way of doing things. After all, your former employer is the one who coined "move fast and break things".
