OpenHunt tried solving a problem for the content makers without providing any additional benefit to the content consumers.<p>It&#x27;s a nice, heart-warming mission. But in the end of the day, content is king, that&#x27;s what consumers want.<p>There have been many examples of people rallying around a &quot;free and open&quot; version of a service. They fail to realize that the end user barely cares. Look at voat (Reddit), app.net (Twitter), Diaspora (Facebook), and even ycreject.com (Y Combinator) tried to be a thing for a while.<p>If someone is able to make it &quot;free and open&quot; while also making it a better experience than the alternative, then it&#x27;ll be a big success. But so far everyone gets that wrong.
