cURL is discontinuing its bug bounty program at the end of January to combat the influx of low-quality AI-generated bug reports, a decision supported by noted bug hunter Joshua Rogers. cURL maintainer Daniel Stenberg previously highlighted the issue, referring to it as “Death by a thousand slops.” Rogers believes that removing financial incentives for reporting bugs is a sound move that should prompt others to consider similar actions. This change aims to improve the quality of bug reports received by the project.
