Genuine question: Who uses stars on GitHub? Even if I use a library or tool, it’s never once occurred to me to give it a star on GitHub. Is this a real thing people do? And if so, why?

I guess the idea is to show a small token of appreciation. I do that and I am also happy if I receive some on my own repos.

I star something that I think is cool and also so I can find it easier if I forget the name of it I can just go look at my Stars and re-find it.
