The op comment did not say that they are not getting burned out but that they need not get burned out. Instead of listening to twitter drama just do whatever you want and if people want stuff you don't feel like doing then they can do it themself

Right, and my comment is that this line of reasoning is bullshit.

It's like telling fat people that they don't need to be fat and they should just eat less what's the problem.

So by the analogy popular OSS maintainers have cravings to satisfy/answer/handle every last little bit of report/email/tweet about their project? Because if they have, that's no inherent to OSS, that's inherent to humans haven't evolved sufficient self-control against larger than tribe societies, and that's exactly how some humans have insufficient self-control to resist overeating. It's not their fault, but it's still their decision.

My analogy was perfect because those that preach know nothing about the cause.

No, it's not about cravings. Or self-control.

Then what's the cause? Your analogy should have helped illuminate your argument, but it made it more confusing :o
