In reply to Diogenes.

Especially when you consider that Hookr is piggybacking on thousands of hours of volunteer effort.

While this is basically true, I don't think it's necessarily fair to paint Hookr.io as some johnny-come-lately evildoer. Personally, I was excited when Hookr.io launched. The information is out there and the more the merrier who share it the better, imo. I think "friction" is a good word for what happened with some contributors, but that's largely because I think they felt like we should centralize the effort, which I agree with to an extent.

To say that Hookr is capitalizing on volunteerism is a bit of a stretch.
