This doesn’t surprise me at all… Just like bots in games. Selling a service that benefits another. Its shady, but definitely believable.
Also, what if this is an actual viable way to “market” for an open source project?
Really does depend on what we are talking about. Some random software that is not critical? Sure. Some system breaking library that would take down my servers in case of malfunction? No bueno.
Throwing out FUD.
The stars reflect the marketing effort put in. Has no correlation to the software quality or whether it’s critical or not.
