This is interesting. I've talked about this with several people in the past. For some, the people are more important (like with a singer), and for some the thing is more important (the song). I'm struggling with this for several decades now, because I never was a fan (the closest fan thing I did in 45 years, was reading a GnR biography, otherwise I was never interested in the life of a singer/band, Bowie was in Berlin, ah interesting, coming back to his songs...). Same for open source projects. Linus or Linux? Antirez or Redis?
