Ooof, that’s a guaranteed way for me to never use a repo.

Yeah that feels very scummy

I was trying to figure out why I’m so viscerally against that… I think it’s because they’re trying to “hold hostage” help for what is effectively social clout (e.g. stars). So, something that ideally is a bit more organic, and that which could be used by other people to determine popularity and whether they would want to invest their time and effort into it. Like, I could hate this library but be forced to use it due to “legacy” and yet, have to show my appreciation. Also weird to summarily close it - because like, what if someone else in the community wanted to PR and fix… I wonder if they’d hold back PRs without stars…..?

Ugh, that is just not cool

lol

eww!
