Are you being paid, or is there a revenue share? If not, I wonder what your motivation is.

  Yeah, crazy right? Folks already contributing hundreds of hours for free for some time. I can't imagine someone doing free work and writing, ranking restaurant reviews, editing, citing, writing pieces of encyclopedia entrees or electing Presidents like in 2008. Grassroots wha?

    Getting free contributions works for Wikipedia because it is not a business, has no ads and it's supported by donations. And because people get ego value from getting their contributions on a large, popular site. However, if the intention is to use free content to make the owners (and VCs) rich, then I am not sure that is a sustainable business model in the long term.

      Quora and Yelp are for profit.

        Yes, and their models are unsustainable. I wouldn't be an investor in any company that uses free labor.
