A self-generating story that gets longer the more stars it gets

I can see the novelty in this, but it also seems like a very gimmicky way to get a bunch of stars in your repo.

i had a glimmer in my eye and a sparkle of hope reading the readme; it fizzled out with no supernova upon reading the story.

Ah yes, even more proof that no one clicks on anything that makes it to the front page.

This is… starbait.

Ha, this is similar to an idea that I had some time ago:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;the-story.ggerganov.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;the-story.ggerganov.com</a><p>This is again a type of collaborative story-telling where you can vote for each word once per day. New words are added as more votes are accumulated. I thought it would be interesting to see it grow, but unfortunately - it has been just me and a friend submitting votes from time to time :D<p>Edit: punctuation is intentionally not supported

Why?
