If 1 in 100 people have the type of agency to “do stuff” that means smaller communities will often wait to get most STUFF, because there’s only so many people and there’s lots of “stuff” you could do. E.g. for this game, I’m sure there’s other stuff you could have spent your half hour on to give back to the community, you just happened to want this.
I think in these small communities people are rightfully happy about ANYONE using their free time to add to the commons.
As the communities get bigger, the low hanging fruit is taken and you start to have to create better content to be appreciated, e.g., getting popular on mainstream Youtube takes more than a few hours and requires more investment in content quality.
