I think, given his content, that this comment is overly broad. Instead, it should probably say that the Github trending page isn't fun any more. And he gives a nice and precise reason for this: the Github trending page used to have all the qualities of a game. There were ranked participants and there was a clear, known score. If you wanted to do well in the game, then you knew exactly what you had to do. As a bonus, the rules happened to be such that the ranked results were actually interesting. Now the trending page has an opaque score. Opaque scores and rules almost never make for a fun game. Perhaps the results are interesting. If so, how do we know that? It's hard to judge whether or not they are because we don't know the scoring mechanism. So the page loses not only its fun but its meaning as well.
