GitHub stars can be bought. A 2024–2026 study (He et al., ICSE 2026) found ~6 million suspected fake stars. RealStars samples each rising repo's recent stargazers and discounts growth that arrives in unusual bursts or from very new accounts.
Stargazer analysis is pending for this update.
Raw lifetime stars/day; no unusual-pattern check yet.
