This complaint makes no sense. (It may still be true - fun is subjective - but the article offers an objective argument for it that doesn't hold up.) > The Trending page used to be a straight-up list of the projects with the most new stars in the last 24 hours across the whole site (and by language). ... > In this era of Developer Relations, VC-backed open source, and the endless developer-content-bullshit machine, the old Trending page was one of the few places left on the web where it seemed like the best ideas still won. I've been seeing corporate projects beg for stars (from either employees or users) for almost a decade now. Meanwhile, I have never asked for stars on my personal repos and I think most people don't. If you don't like companies putting their finger on the scale, stars are the absolute last thing to measure! > The worst side effect of the new Trending page is that a lot project discovery has moved to other platforms, and more specifically, to Twitter. This isn’t good for the community. We went from a flawed meritocracy ... good ideas and good projects are getting lost, especially from newcomers. How, exactly, are newcomers supposed to get stars on their projects without a following?
