One of the consequences of making #GitHub increasingly become a social network along the lines of #Meta is that since a work can be measured by the number of stars it has, this means that we can buy relevance.

I think that unconsciously one of the biggest reasons developers don't leave GitHub even though they know all the problems is because they don't want to stop earning stars easily.
