Good question. There are a few factors that I think will mitigate this concern.

- You still have to get developers to use and depend on these new projects.

- Allocation happens on a per subscription basis, so to realistically take advantage of this scheme, you will need many developers to adopt your new projects.

- Subscribers who notice maintainers doing this will be incentivized to vote with their dollars and change their dependencies to projects that aren't engaging in this behavior.
