No, they can't. Read the inverse of my bulleted list to see what makes money:

* Bugs that fit readily into operational frameworks (ie: it would be reasonable to have a UI with a button invoking that bug and/or any of the 15 other bugs like it)

* Bugs that can't be killed with a single patch cycle by a single entity

* Bugs that provide long-term access, or access that is unlikely to get your entire syndicate caught

Example of a potentially lucrative web bug: bug in Wordpress.

Example of a bug unlikely to be lucrative: "read any Facebook server file".

I know that sounds crazy and backwards, but I don't think it is.

I think you two disagree on what a "dumb web vulnerability" is.
