This worries me about the state of Github more than anything else. For the past couple years now we've been seeing these "viral" repos that catch on for one reason or another, get tens of thousands of stars in a few months (in part due to posts like this), and then languish. Time was that a few thousand Github stars really meant something; that a project had steadily gained support over years and was at a place that was production ready for the masses. Not so anymore.

- ramesh31 2y agoMost recent Github stars are came from big tech youtuber's videos. That's kind of my point. It's becoming impossible now to tell the difference between long running stable repos vs something someone with social media followers just started pushing by stars alone anymore.
- nine_k 2y agoA star growth chart, summarized by month, would give a good idea of whether this is steady growth or a meteoric rise overnight. (Storage costs of such a chart are negligible.)
