Github stars are indicative of nothing

They are indicative of something. That something is just not always “this project is good”.

Correct: it’s like trying to equate “correct” with “popular”, and keeping in mind how the last US elections have turned out.
But it’s good to be in a big network of other users with the same product, nonetheless.

You can just buy them, same way you can buy likes on any other platform. Don’t use them as any kind of metric.

You can but if you buy 80k people are gonna investigate and will easily find out you did. Stars are public. I have a folder on my computer with a dataset of 90% of all stars on github
