I don't know the cause or cure, but I think geeks tend to be lousy at publicity.
Tentative theory-- they're independent-minded enough that they can't really model people who want a little pixie dust (aka status, supernormal stimuli, or fantasies of value) sprinkled on things. Alternate theory: geeks like pixie dust, too, but it's a different sort of pixie dust.
nitpick,; not all geeks are aspiring rationalists.
