> How many projects have you starred and how many have you cloned?
I seldom star, but neither you nor I can be extrapolated to the general community. I have thousands of stars in some repos, and I know a significant number of those users don’t even code, let alone clone repos or copy code, they’re interested in the final product. They have GitHub accounts because it’s the way to report bugs or make feature requests.
The OP made a claim. All I’m looking to understand is if it has data backing it up or it’s just a gut feeling, because if it’s the former I’ll have learned something and made a correction of my mental model of the world. Sharing more anecdotes will leave us stuck in the same situation.
