For context, Tea (the cli tool) was created by the author of homebrew. But for some reason he changed the name to pkgx and made tea into the crypto thing: From the creator of Homebrew, Tea raises $8.9M to build a protocol that helps open source developers get paid
He's probably interested in blocking these kinds of PR's.
He is now that people are spamming the high profile projects he used as examples in his "get paid" cryptobro scam videos and it's pissing people off in the FOSS communities hes trying to worm the project into.
Hilariously, he stated that he would be really unhappy if people were doing this to his actual FOSS projects, which makes me wonder why he didn't use them in his examples instead of the completely unrealted Node.js and ghost projects.
Its almost like he made himself getting rich someone else's problem. Totally unlike crypt bro behaviour, of course.
