I agree but calling that "github culture" is unfair. It's a culture that emerged independently from github and like I said those metrics on github should not be the target for criticism. I found them pretty useless but some metrics can be good in a team context. I don't think they are a major part of the problem, let alone part of the cause.

it all started when people blogged about their programming tricks way back, and hacker news should be part of the problem before github is. Github at least has functions other than a social hub.
