Re:4.5M (Suspected) Fake Stars in GitHub by shepherdjerred on Thursday January 02, 2025 @10:47PM (#42582176)
When I'm looking for a library I'll consider them in order of # of stars.

e.g. I might search for "TypeScript ORM", open five popular repos, and then compare the two libraries with the most stars to make my decision.

I also use stars to bookmark projects, and I'll usually unstar a project once I've tried it out/no longer need it.
