Seems there is some misconception here:

1. I was not complaining that I did not get paid for this bug, but that different Bug Bounty programs have different thresholds on whether a vulnerability qualifies for a monetary reward. This seems like useful information for someone who would like to make a living out of bounty-hunting.

2. Even though I participate in these bounty programs as a hobby, which is about 1-2 days per month, I was already awarded generously. If I did this full-time, I would expect to earn a great deal more than when I would be working directly for Google (unless they have crazy wages)
