Blame DigitalOcean for not making this opt-in. Blame a bad implementation. Blame anything.

But are you seriously gonna blame people looking for free swag? How many of us haven’t done something for swag before?




I completely agree with you, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter who shoulders the blame if OSS maintainers start to get wary of README/docs PRs from github users with Indian-sounding names.


It’s fairly trivial to tell a spammy PR from a legitimate one by just looking at the content of it. Even if a docs change by an Indian account who joined yesterday, if it fixes a real typo or something then it is legitimate is it not?
