- yencabulator 2y agoSo, make 100 bot accounts that each have 100 dummy repos and have each star all of other's repos, then start pumping those votes out of the network? Each bot has 10k incoming stars from users who each have 10k incoming stars. Remember, Google PageRank was bootstrapped with the N most visited websites.
- Der_Einzige 2y agoThis project already had no one caring about it 5 years ago. If github adopted my metric, than what you described would fool it. I wrote that as a weekend project one day after seeing the "fake github stars" thing 5 years ago.
