The bug bash quests can be found in the Windows Feedback Hub, and partaking in the bug bash often concludes with a badge in the Feedback Hub that acknowledges your participation.
Imagine doing free QA for a multibillion dollar corporation. I hate Microsoft so much.
No one is forcing you. Actually, you need to jump through many hoops to get into the program. And Microsoft tends to pay nice rewards to people who find critical issues.
Nobody’s being forced into it, you can just decide not to do it. There’s no risk or reward for doing so other than because you want to. There’s no power imbalance. It’s just users deciding they want to do it. It’s not exploitation, haha
At best, these people are scabs taking away QA jobs by working for free. If we were talking about a community-driven Free Software project it’d be different, but doing that kind of unpaid labor for a for-profit corporation is toxic and harmful in a systemic way that goes beyond personal choice.
Be me.
Like a thing.
Find issues with thing.
Share those issues with the devs.
Dopamine.
Find better avenue for sharing issues.
Do issue finding in my spare time with my own free will.
Get shamed on internet for doing my own thing.

So a bug bounty that pays significantly less
Cant put a price on a badge though!
I think that might be the problem
If I get that badge, can I hide it? (On 𝕏 I can)

Can’t blame them if people after willing to do it
Watch me. Exploiting people is wrong, even if they’re idiots.
Calm down, no one’s getting exploited. Many people like trying out new features that aren’t available yet for stable releases.
