A couple of years ago I found a bug in my Samsung phone and reported it to them, they have a bug bounty program which ended up paying me $750 USD for just 2-3 hours of work - I had to fill out a form detailing the bug, device details, and some basic info, nothing too technical. I also reported a bug I found in the Alibaba website and got around $80 USD compensation, YMMV depending on how impactful the bug is.

Keep in mind it can take up to a year for the full process from bug report to payment, though it’s pretty easy money if you’re able to find a bug, so report them if you see them!
