It's funny that the author things he discovered a "signal", from a company whose business is selling signals.
> Well, the biggest one is that those are brand new accounts — they were created at the time of my order. They don't have any fake personal information or repositories or contributions.
> And after a month, they are all gone. GitHub detected and banned them.
Obviously, the cheap option is there only to prove to the clients that expensive option is worth it. Here the author believes he found a signal - stars disappear after a month. I would bet that the people collecting the money are making they disappear to make a point.
- BrianHenryIE 3y agoThe order number is the WooCommerce order id, which is the WordPress post id. It is not sequential. The extensibility of WordPress comes in part from its "custom post types", so any WordPress plugin that uses a custom post type contributes to incrementing this number. E.g. if I write a logging plugin that stores entries as a custom post type, or a mail fetcher, or an obvious example is the products listed on the store itself, if they cumulatively came to 57188, then this is the first order on the site. The order number is a poor indicator of the number of orders.
