Im gonna ask for the majority of the good part of this community. Quit your bitching! Please! No one cares. If you want to be pissed about it, go ahead. But dont call it "stupid" when its not your decision on what yo do with the exploits. Quit acting entitled and get over it. You dont own the exploit. The community doesnt own the exploit. What nintendo is doing is paying people to do a their job. If a hobby had the opportunity to turn into a job, 90% of the people would take it. Calling it a wall of shame is idiotic. Acting entitled is also idiotic. Stop. Nintendo has every right to have this program and the people that find the vulnerabilities have the right to keep it private, release it, or give it to nintendo.
One thing leads to the other. It starts with a small webkit exploit and it keeps going up and up until eventually there is piracy.
And also, a flawed system is a bad system, Nintendo isn't incompetent, they're just fixing bugs and holes.
We make stability memes, but stability is a necessary thing, you wouldn't want those Switch games crashing would you?
Also, I'm pretty sure a Netflix app will come, your movies will be there.
Hulu, Netflix, Crackle, that stuff.
They could make a simple filter. That's it. Oh, and I don't have a Netflix subscription.

Quick question: Can we fucking stop this thread and these shitty 13 page long arguments?

They can't make a simple filter, more simpler means more simpler to bypass.
Supposedly that was NOT Ryan, that was PokeAcer using Ryan's name to avoid getting shit for what he didlmao I was about to mention how familiar that name is, then I saw your comment
Which now just makes me hate PokeAcer even more
Yeah same law here. You can copy every movie, song and game as long as you yourself own it and don't make a profit of it.
Here's a cheap tablet for you to watch YouTube using an official app.

lmao, you want to wait soooooo long just to watch "YouTube" videos using unofficial homebrew that may break at any time? And probably not properly optimized because every part of the code will be reverse engineered code from closed source software/hardware.

Jesus christ, jumping from the first to the last page of this thread, it feels like a bomb went off.
I want homebrew on my Switch too, I get it. But hacking a Switch isn't just an open route for homebrew, it's also an open route for piracy. Homebrew isn't harmless, it's an open door for pirates to also bring along content, or get closer to doing so. You need to acknowledge that and understand that it's 100% logical for Nintendo to want to seal off any vulnerabilities. We're not entitled to homebrew or vulnerabilities. Even if we don't support piracy, hacking a console makes that system much more vulnerable to piracy. Homebrew can do a lot of bad for NIntendo, it's not harmless.

Who cares? This threads point is moot. If they want to sell their exploits let them, because there will always be more exploits. With enough interest the switch will be hacked.
Actually thinking about it more, this type of thinking is a cancer on this community. Making a wall if shame? Seriously? Where's the F-ing report button because this thread needs to be closed.

Good for them, if I had the opportunity to make money off something I enjoyed like hacking I'd be on Cloud 9.
The fucking spin in this title, lmao
Every company has white hat programs
Just because now you can't get your precious pirated games so easy, doesn't mean anyone's sold out. Just means you're an entitled little shit

Well this derailed massively. Keep things on topic, kthnx.
By a business standpoint, the HackerONE program is quite a smart initiative by Nintendo. Money is a great driving force, and it helps their stuff stay secure. For the people upsetted by the fact that "muh switchhax won't happen cuz GREED", chill out, cuz A) the scene is more than determined enough to eventually get piracy, seeing as how the 3DS and Wii U were both inevitably cracked. and B) Nintendo isn't catering to the homebrew community. They DO NOT want that. So of course they're going to try all avenues to prevent it. It's common sense for them.

That moment when you realize that OP is a 27 year old man with the attitude of a 10 year old and you now start to pity him because he can't afford a cheap tablet to fill his YouTube fix. Most of the stuff on YouTube is crap anyways, rarely any good original content. Most of it is uploads of copyrighted material (music, movies, TV shows) which is piracy and OP probably thought it was kosher? Either way, I think Nintendo will eventually bring YouTube to the Switch.
I just wanna hit that like button so hard till it breaks a hole through the GBATemp servers and creates a wormhole into parallel universes, so I can hit that like button there too and eventually make the universe collapse on itself. Well said!

So basically.. TL;DR of this entire thread:
HackerOne is a good program for nintendo and experienced hackers who want to earn money, this keeps their device safe from piracy and stuff.
--Its a bad thing for the people who want Homebrew which brings me to the next point..
Once you buy an electronic device, it is YOURS completely, you "should" be able to do whatever you want with it, if you want to install linux on it, or transform it into a car GPS, you -should- be able to (providing the hardware can do it ofc..)
HOWEVER using software licensed by Nintendo (such as the Nintendo Switch operating system) falls under THEIR protection and does not bind law to allow you to do custom stuff with that, so it is NOT within our right to be able to make Homebrew software on it.
So in a way, this entire sub (Switch - Hacking & Homebrew) is all within the "black hat hackers" territory, the ones who DON'T want to be paid and basically aim for an open device.. Piracy is often a side effect of this (sad or not)..

Yeah, the device is yours, Nintendo doesn't care if you use as a paperweight, a punching bag, soccer ball, target for shooting practice, have sex on top of it, smash it with a hammer, blow it up, etc. But once you start modifying their code/service to do something they didn't license you to do, they get upset. Want to be in the clear? Write your own OS and hardware drivers and HALs and replace the Switch stock software with your custom OS, etc. How? Flash it via hardware. Nintendo won't care then because none of the code is theirs.
