Also their user onboarding literally forces a unknowing user to create a GitHub account then star their specific repository.

Making GitHub stars ultimately meaningless, if they ever meaned anything.

I always assumed stars were just a form of bookmarking for me to find projects again easily, since there is no other method than 'watching', which results in too much info
