Popularity on GitHub can open valuable doors for developers and startups. Underground stores sell “stars” on the platform, offering coders a way to literally fake it till they make it.
Github offers the Insights tab on every repository that provides you with actual data in those points. There are countless repositories out there that have thousands of stars and literally on person contributing to it. If you go by stars to sway your verdict, you are simply to lazy to do your due diligence which in turn makes you a bad developer.
Your claim is that there is value in using a metric that has zero meaning and validate your own negligence in claiming that it makes your choice better than random through popularity. I claim this is lazy and negligent. Please tell me what I misread.
