Future of YouTube Creators

The COVID has made everyone's life just boring and all the people are becoming mediocre.  Everyone even the news or TV hosts are creating channel on YouTube just to pay their EMIs as they have no source of income as of now since the shut down of the channels. For every 1M views the creators get atleast 2 laksh. That's a lot of sum. Isn't it? Now that everyone is creating channels just to make money whethe the video is good or bad they just upload it. Just to make money. Earlier people used to upload only to showcase their talent and get recognized for their work Now coming to my perception how I view the future of YT Channels. YT is going to delete the channels that is pure non sense. And these users will create their own website hosted on any platform and upload the videos there and then start making revenue from it.

Instagram Bug : $$$$ Mention Bypass | Facebook Bug Bounty

I was testing with the Instagram Lite App. There is major difference in the APIs of the Instagram APp and the Lite App.   Bugs were found by other bug hunters in the Facebook and its Lite Version. So I gave a try to the Insta. I was mainly concerned about the privacy of other users, like invading into their privacy and something I enjoy doing. We also love invading into other people private life right? Like who they dated and also love to read their personal messages. In the Instagram App There is Mentions in the Privacy settings of Instagram that have options like: No One. Only followers etc. When the User has set the mentions to No one then any user cannot tag them in the comments of other posts across Insta. But in the Instagram Lite app, You can directly enter the user name of the user and just post the comment. I tags that account. Rewarded $500 , 25 days later since reporting the bug
