How about paying your beta testers for their time instead of asking them to add money to the time they've spent?

Not valuing your testers basically just led to a mass exodus in SCUM (a computer game) and it has destroyed their Steam rating. Just saying...
Amethysts bug bounty thing rubbed me the wrong way. Report not submitted, back to Ditto.

If there is a bug so blatant that it ruins the experience for everyone there shouldn't be a need to pay to report it through the proper channel. That just means I either have to pay or me submitting it without that means the bug won't be fixed even if it effects everyone.

Because your right, I don't care if its fixed or not, this was about the quality of your app I was helping with to notify you of the issue. I'm fine sticking to other desktop clients until its fixed.

What bug you ask? I don't need to tell you. You will hear it from every other user this impacts. And if its only me who triggers this within a minute and my usual skill of breaking things? Well then I don't need you to waste your time fixing it for just me, I'm fine using something else that already works even if I really like the client.

I 100% get that if I wanted some obscure thing fixed or implemented that i'd have to pay for that effort. But you should really add a clarification that these bounties are optional for major bugs because now you simply won't know.
