Why does every little inconsequential thing have to be gamified to increase engagement? I couldn't care less about how many stars, arctic vault badges etc. do I get in a thing I use to hedge risk of losing my code and collaborate with others.

the website is very obviously a joke and is not affiliated with github.

you're free to not care. most don't care. but achievements are not the goal, achievements are a fraction of a second of amusement or pride about a career of work.

it's not for you, fine. why complain about it? let people enjoy something even though you see no point for crying out loud.

Somebody is trying to hack my brain to get more engagement from me and steal my "thinking" resources for themselves.

I find comments like these a bit hypocritical. Everything you said could be applied to yourself. Like sure, maybe hating on badges is not for you, fine. why complain about it?

It is not a consistent position to complain about people complaining about things on the internet.
