Bug Bounties Then Paid XSS; Now AI Says Duplicate
Description
A two-era comparison comic. The top section, titled "Finding a Bug Bounty Now," shows a crying Wojak researcher drowning in logos and labels—HackerOne, Bugcrowd, Synack, SSRF, RCE, XXE, NoSQLi, repeated CVE-2023-12345 IDs—plus garbled multi-stage exploit pseudocode and an orange crab holding a magnifying glass. Opposite him is a smug bearded figure in glasses and a black "I ❤️ AI TRIAGE" cap, with the caption "Triage Team: Sorry, duplicate submission. No reward. Informative only." The bottom section, titled "Finding a Bug Bounty Then," shows two Nordic-looking bearded men in profile: one offers the payload `'; alert('XSS')--` after "Found a security issue?" and the other, in a fedora, replies "Excellent find. P1 Critical. Here is a $10,000 bounty. Thank you." The joke is the collapse of easy web-vuln payouts into AI-saturated triage, duplicate closures, and unpaid Informative reports.

`alert('XSS')` used to clear ten grand. Now it's a few-shot example in the model that stamps Duplicate.
