People should have known this from the beginning.
These volunteers didn't think about it in these terms.
They gave away their work for free to help people learn languages, and for a long time Duolingo seemed like the best platform for that.
Starting your own platform is much more difficult than contributing to an existing one that seems to be operated with some amount of goodwill...
Unfortunately the gems don't last long. I can go through 1000 just trying to refill hearts on harder Chinese lessons.
