I read a comment under the story about the recent YouTube vulnerability where one could unmask the related Google account and its owner using the standard YouTube API (something similar to that anyway), and they explained a lot of lesser-known nuances in establishing values for bounties like these, and it helped explain a lot (not all) of the reasons for what might seem like low-ball/high-ball valuations on the surface. If I can find their comment I’ll post back, it was really insightful. That said, there are also plenty of examples of people just getting shafted.

That's it! Really informative, IMHO. Thanks for adding the other cheek to my half ass job there.
That’s definitely the one I thought of
100% Thanks for the assist.
