I contributed an idea to one of these and was contacted by someone who wanted to contract with me to build a tool. That's not what I wanted. I didn't want to spend $15k to get someone to make something for me. I wanted to say "this is annoying to me. If that gives you a hint as to something that you could build, that's awesome: I'll pay you $7 / month".

What I definitely did not desire is a bespoke solution. I can go get that from a contracting website.

What I also definitely didn't desire is wanting to research things so I can create a nice opportunity for you. That's a waste of my time. I can just pay someone on Upwork to research for me.
