AI review
A panel discussion, so judged as one: does the moderator force specificity, does disagreement surface, does anyone say something they couldn't have said in a blog post? Mostly yes on the first two counts, partially on the third. The three creators are genuine, their missions are distinct, and the operational detail — delegation models, workflow tooling, platform-specific strategies — is more concrete than most creator panels manage. Nothing here redefines how the bug bounty community operates, but it's honest and functional for its lane.
