Many successful apps have simple tech and nothing that can’t be replicated with ease. Their power is in the network effect, so why don’t apps like Tinder, Reddit etc open source their code, inviting anyone to contribute and rewarding contributors? Seems like a great way to support a dev community and have a better product. Maybe open to “approved” contributors?

What am I not getting?
