Is there even such a thing as a github influencer (people living just from github)?

People working in DevRel often aggregate developer oriented content and gain popularity that way, an example would be "swyx" for example. I'm not taking a dump on his work, but you can see the Github influencer effect over there.

Never heard of swyx.

Self proclaimed GitHub star. But still only 5000 followers and projects max out at 8000 stars.

I don’t know what I had expected but I think it was bigger numbers than that.

The "github star" claim links to the source (it's some github program where you can nominate people to be accepted into some promotion campaign). Saying self proclaimed makes him sound pretentious, it's actually awarded by github.
