This comes up on every story about bug bounties. There is in general no market at all for XSS vulnerabilities. That might be different for Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, because of the possibility of monetizing a single strike across a whole huge social network, and there's maybe a bank-shot argument for Discord, but you really have to do a lot of work to generate the monetization story for any of those.

The vulnerabilities that command real dollars all have half-lives, and can't be fixed with a single cluster of prod deploys by the victims.
