*random person stars my repo on Github*

Me: Fuck yes give me those stars!

*checks user's profile, has starred 40k repositories*

Me: Take that star back you whore.

*sighs, puts star back in pez dispenser

Such people are Star Whores

Star4Star like instagram. Such whores, much disappointment.

Who the fuck stars 40k repositories?
No way that's not a bot.

Who the fuck builds a bot to star 40k repositories?

@endor people making money off of it.

@Wisecrack I understand karmawhoring on social media, but Github? How do you monetize repo starring on Github?

@endor sleezy startups or people reputation building by building frameworks (or *shudders* microframeworks, akak LIBRARIES) that are "x but for y!", or "the new, and shiny, and (marginally) better than this OTHER [popular framework in current year]."

Color me cynical.

40k?! That’s pure StarPorn right there 🙈
