Riddle me this:
Many have tried me,
And many failed,
Many make me,
And in plain sight I lie,
My secret bound tight, I ask you, what am I?
HINT
Not lie as in to tell a lie but to lie down or upon

Many have tried me,
Many people try to answer riddles
And many failed,
Many people fail at them
Many make me,
There is a certain website called puzzling.stackexchange.com where people make riddles
And in plain sight I lie,
Answer is obvious once revealed, making it seem as if in plain sight.
My secret bound tight, I ask you, what am I?
As a riddle, I never easily give up my answer

You are:
A lie
Many have tried me,
Almost everybody has lied at some point
And many failed,
There are many times where a lie is not fallen for,
Many make me,
You can make a lie just as you can try to lie
And in plain sight I lie,
Lies lie. Not much to explain here.
My secret bound tight, I ask you, what am I?
The truth is the secret, as a lie will never expose the truth.

$\begingroup$ Oh no, I was afraid of this, I hadn't clarified which lie it is. What I had in mind is not this. However, it makes perfect sense. $\endgroup$– MrFreggMay 26, 2016 at 17:41

I think you are:
a riddle
because:
many people try but they often fail because it's supposed to be difficult. many make me, like here on stackexchange. in plain sight I lie, my secret bound tight. The answer is hard to find, but it's always in the question.

1$\begingroup$ @Fluxenein MikeM. is right, Rahul was first. 29 mins ago is before 23 mins ago. Although Deusovi was wrong, I didn't duplicate Rahuls answer, but I'm not english so it took me a while to type my answer. $\endgroup$– AnnaMay 26, 2016 at 17:54

1$\begingroup$ @Anna: Nobody's accusing you of copying the answer. We have all been in the situation of thinking of an answer (and maybe typing it), only to discover that somebody else got it in first. But we suggest that, before posting your answer, you read all the others. If yours is the same as one or more of the others, don’t post it, unless you’re really contributing something new (like a better explanation, for example). $\endgroup$ May 26, 2016 at 18:00

The correct answer was posted by @Rahul Srinath. However, here's an alternative reasoning for "Many make me,", other than stated by him:
The answer is that it is a riddle. Where are you viewing this riddle? On an LCD. Thus, the riddle is made up of many liquid crystals emitting light at you to display this riddle. They are the "many"
