- hombre_fatal 6y agoIt’s basic social proof. Social proof doesn’t tell you everything, but it tells you something. The fact that anyone uses a library is a signal in itself that puts it ahead of a zero star library. People who have a problem with that are usually, in my experience, the ones placing too much importance on stars, and then projecting that onto everyone else who actually have more apathetic, reasonable views.
