Did Hacktoberfest became an event of free work-hand?
Post Body

The idea of Hacktoberfest is to support the open source community by solving some of the issues of the specific repo and increasing the knowledge of the person solving it. There are lots of open source projects that are worth of a visit but whenever I filter the repos by the "hacktoberfest" tag, I see a LOT of projects that start from zero. I saw an empty repo with 20 issues and if you complete all of them, you basically make a whole web site so the owner gets a web app for free. Wtf, when did hacktoberfest become like this and where are the ethics of these people that have these kinds of "projects"? Also, what can we do so we can stop this "vandalism" on hacktoberfest?
