<p>I don't believe those numbers will ever come close to converging, let alone bounty prices surpassing black market prices.<p>It seems like these vulnerabilities will always be more valuable to people who can guarantee that their use will generate a return than to people who will use them to prevent a theoretical loss.<p>Beyond that, selling zero-days is a seller's market where sellers can set prices and court many buyers, but bug bounties are a buyer's market where there is only one buyer and pricing is opaque and dictated by the buyer.<p>So why would anyone ever take a bounty instead of selling on the black market? Risk! You might get arrested or scammed selling an exploit on the black market, black market buyers know that, so they price it in to offers.</p>

<p>Your question boils down to "If I was buying a product from a company, and they made it worse, why would I pay the same price for it?"<p>Because YouTube has a functional monopoly on online video advertising in a huge number of markets.<p>Enshitification is not just for YouTube's viewers and creators.</p>

<p>Regarding the kiosk, I wholly expect that an unattended device with YT on auto play will ratchet up the length/frequency of ads as long as they're never skipped.<p>Someone who falls asleep watching YouTube will skip ads, unless they're asleep.<p>The idea is that if YT can infer that someone is asleep (location, no movement, no sound, low light, night) that they can show the longest, most skip-inducing ads that they've got since they know they won't be skipped.<p>The difference between the kiosk and the sleeper is that if the sleeper gets a 20 minute ad at 2pm while they're eating lunch, they'll skip it. YT is incentivized to show the most profitable ad that someone won't skip.<p>The value in identifying sleepers isnt showing a long ad, it's showing a long ad with the certainty that it won't be skipped.</p>

<p>I've seen these advertisements too, also only when my phone had been playing unattended for some time.<p>I have a (unsupported, unsubstantiated) theory that YT detects phones of "sleepers" and pushes more profitable content with the understanding it won't be skipped.<p>I've got a few spare phones, maybe I'll run an experiment.</p>

<p>That's fair. I suspect that as phones get more "premium" the margin from a small phone shrinks faster than a larger phone.<p>HTC has been making cheap (very cheap) and small phones for the discount market. Foldables exist in the premium space, but the price tags appear to bake in a higher margin for a device that won't sell the same volume.</p>

<p>Small phones (to an extent) are less expensive than larger phones to manufacture.<p>The thought that "Small phones are only more popular because they're less expensive" seems to willfully ignore that the phones are less expensive because their inputs are less expensive, because they're smaller.</p>

<p>Assuming these people don't understand that their ideas are unworkable is a mistake. Don't believe for a second they are stupid or ignorant.<p>The difference between a criminal and a law-abiding citizen isn't that the citizen knows that crimes are wrong, it's that the citizen cares that crimes are wrong and the criminal doesn't.</p>
