@movq Very neat comparison to the exhibition hall! I'm also not getting the platform, I can't think of a single cool project I discovered there. It was always another source. I also tried to look through the projects of other people and never found anything I wanted to contribute or even use. It was also a super exhausting process in retrospect. Maybe I have notifications disabled (I'm also too lazy to check), but I never got an e-mail when somebody I follow starred something. There's also the problem, that I don't get the follower thing for a source code hosting platform. I just don't understand the use case for that. Looks like they tried to make it a social media thing, too (and failed).
The follow thing in GitHub basically affects your timeline of events / activities in your timeline on GitHub. But in practice it’s just noise and utterly useless.

@prologic I never look in my timeline. In the beginning I thought, what's this crap? And then I just ignored it ever since. Always go straight to where I wanted to be in the first place. It annoys the hell out of me, that after login I'll not be sent back to where I originally came from. And for each login I get this fucking device verification mail. Esp. the latter one makes me just log in if I absolutely have to. So I often don't reply to comments because I think of all the hazzle and then I go: na, scratch it. So GitHub even hinders contribution. But I'm a weirdo, I know. Only terrorists and I are clearing cookies, that's for sure.
