So we reached a point where the quality of a `piece` of software is decided based on stars on GitHub.

The exact same thing happened with xClaw where people where going "look at this app that got thousands of stars on GitHub in only a few days!".

How is that different than the followers/likes counts on the usual social networks?

Given how much good it did to give power to strangers based on those counts, it's hard not to think that we're going in the completely wrong direction.
