    TL;DR He made about 20k for 440 hours of work. about $45/hour but the main thing is that he improved and is finding bugs even faster and it's helping the other parts of his business.

      these kind of things is insane for those living in 3rd world countries, that is around 2.5 months worth of work meaning you make around 8k a month. That kind of salary is a company board's salary in SEA.

    as programer do perfect code is possible ... but when u have boss in work give u limited time to do ur work ...sure programer will trick his boss and will not do his work perfect .. he will make code looks like perfect but it isnt ... in other way we are human we can do mistakes ... by the way is android apps hackable even if i use google fire base servers as backend for my android app ?

    My first year's payout was $8,000, and I hunted for bugs for about 5-6 hours per day. This is my sixth year in bugbounties, and I make around $100,000 by working 3-4 hours per day.

    Thank you for your great work, you motivate me a lot
    I spent 40 hours in October at hunting. but I kept switching between programs and I made 1350 USD
    This month I only worked 20 hours, but on 1 program. I've made 2300 USD and there are 3 bugs. 1 medium and 2 high I am waiting a response for them
    I don't use tools or look for XSSs and that stuff. I just focus on understanding the program and try to find logical bugs and break the website access controls.

May be you could invite such people on your channel for a series of interviews, which would give us the details about that. It would be a great video series since not many videos exist on that theme.
      Even if you decide not to do that, you can share your thoughts on roadmap for the people who are absolute beginners, who don't know anything about pen testing or web application security. The fact that they are developers or non-developers would be irrelevant. What matters is, they know nothing about web application security, pen testing & hacking.
