Is it only me who found the idea of #Hacktoberfest ineffective? Encouraging people to have only one month in the year to create and contribute to a movement about freedom is counterproductive.

I see many companies doing marketing-fueled efforts to support it and many community members competing with questionable PRs to get a rank or something. I miss the talk about #FOSS's value and how we can sustain this effort.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on that!
