"The People Holding Up The Internet"
Real examples of the people behind critical projects thanklessly maintained by one random person in Nebraska since 2003, underlying all modern infrastructure. (Well, not Nebraska or 2003 specifically, but you know the XKCD.)

"No good deed goes unpunished,"
to
"No good deed gets funded, nor rewarded."
Something like that.
