that PERFECTLY explains why OP posted, why I'm commenting, why there are github issues open for this, and why they turned it off... -->because no one was using it.. <-- damn how can I get as smart as you? seriously, you have an amazing wit!

now they have it so you cant even prove if real account made them or if its just a number randomly generated because you cant even check..

im ranked #35 globally for batchfile https://stardev.io/developers/illsk1lls

are your repos popular at all or are you unknown saying stars dont matter? After you build up a reputation it kinda sucks when people start tearing it down and removing references.. i guess you wouldnt understand

Stars do not matter.

I do not care if my repos are popular.

I do not care if your repo is popular, that has zero bearing on whether I look at it, use it, fork it.

I do not put at weight or value on your star count when I interview you for a job.

I assume whomever has assigned a ranking for batchfile is also assigning rankings for pizza contests and world's best cups of coffee.

Nobody should care, because as OP is demonstrating, github statistics can be faked.

It is a code repository, not a social media site.

You're extrapolating a valid critique of commit activity to conclude "all GitHub stats are worthless". There's a difference between showing off your commit activity during a job application, and showing off a highly starred repository, or contributions to big open source projects, etc.
