Paying for reporting a bug in Amethyst? Are you serious?
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.
