I mean, I hate to say it, but yes? "Being Cool" at its core is mass imitation of good design. Think of the in-crowd in high school, they looked great, but one wouldn't come close to calling them unique.

Hey, just thought I'd take a sec to thank you for making this free. We're faced with so many free apps nowadays that we forget all the work that goes into it to selflessly help the community.

You have to remember that while liberal, NYC is at its core a business focused city that has a long history (for US standards at least) in business. With that in mind "internships" i.e. unpaid labor for the inexperienced is almost expected
