Why did you consider tricking the plagiarism detection engine a hack? Seems more like just one of probably several or even dozens of ways to trick the detection engine.

While I applaud your work and clearly think the channel suspension is BS, I just don't know that I would have thought "HackerOne" when I discovered the issue.

History is filled with people having an idea, thinking it is not worth pursuing, then watching someone else actually do something with that idea instead, followed by the first person downplaying the idea altogether.

Trick the program into doing something other than intended is a hack.

Whether someone cares enough to pay a bounty is something else

Grammarly didn't pay me even a penny for this issue I published in their Bug Bounty channel on the HackerOne.
