Fans and Volunteer Efforts

[robject]

Read this in an old blog. It applies here and elsewhere.

[fan-based] interest is not fungible. You can make suggestions and you can offer game theory and economic analyses to suggest that people focus one direction or another, but volunteers will do what they want and won't do what they don't want and you'll have a better time in life if you can accept that, or at least not waste your time fighting that, because you will lose that battle every time.
