This doesn’t surprise me at all… Just like bots in games. Selling a service that benefits another. Its shady, but definitely believable.
Also, what if this is an actual viable way to “market” for an open source project?

Right - the cost is your time instead of dollars.
I don’t like doing stuff, so I give my time an hourly rate of $100. Absolute BEST case scenario (for me) would be that this is a weekend project, so call it 10 hours.
So my best case break-even point would be 10K stars. Which seems like it’d be more than I’d need?
