Manifold outsources a lot of work to the community (espetially trustworthyish users). So far this hasn't been a problem, as everyone is caught up in the spirit of wanting Manifold to succeed, and most people here are libertarian-leaning and therefore ok with mutually-beneficial agreements between consenting adults.

In other subcultures, this sort of dynamic would lead to complaints about free labor, exploitation, and potential violations of labor law.
