>75+ million downloads

do founders really use these deceptive metrics in order to raise money from investors? most of these downloads (docker, git or even npm) are simply automated a zillion times by a much fewer number of projects

No the investors get the real numbers that we don't get. Number of customers, customer acquisition costs, revenue, trailing growth, churn, etc. etc.

Reading anything other than the title in these types of posts are not worth anyone's time.
