I don't, you messed up!
The fact that you're actually incentivising contributors to make PRs of any quality and without standards, whilst forcing the burden on to maintainers (without reward) and you do very little (no tutorials about how to make quality PRs, no standards information on what comprises of a good PR, no quality guidance what so ever!).
This seems like a marketing stunt that has backfired and you're saying that you don't deserve some backlash?
Would you be willing to share what you'd recommend? I don't work at DigitalOcean but I know a few of the folks working on hacktoberfesst and I'm happy to forward our suggestions. je at h4x dot club.
