Being a salesperson doesn't somehow make you immune to being an immoral actor. There are sellers all over eBay selling junk tech or empty boxes using weasel words and attempting to exploit people with less technical know-how.
This Mohammed guy is just a slightly different version of it. He knows exactly what he's doing, which is peddling snake oil hoping to lure in the scared and the less knowledgeable. Morality is certainly a factor and I will continue to criticize these actors on that basis.
Well, you do you. We don't have to agree. But the power dynamic and the norms of this field don't really support the argument you're trying to make, and I'm certainly going to push back on Troy Hunt's version of that argument as well. There is in fact something squicky about the idea that people running low-effort bug bounty programs should have an expectation of high-quality reports, given that they're asking people to perform an extremely high-value service with no promise of compensation. I don't think it's immoral to set those terms, but I do think you surrender your high horse when you do it.
