Perfect example of a base rate fallacy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_rate_fallacy

What percentage of GitHub activity goes to GitHub repos with less than 2 stars? I would guess it's close to the same number.

Base rate fallacy - Wikipedia

The actual number is that 98% have less than 2 stars (0 or 1). About 90.25% has zero stars.

How do you know that?

Everything You Always Wanted To Know About GitHub (But Were Afraid To Ask)

Are you embarrassed? If not, you should be. This is absolute trash.

It is relevant because if the vast, vast majority of repos have 2 or less stars then it's not that weird that a great deal of repos linked are, too, 2 or less stars.

I think this is useful in answering the grandparent comment's question:

stars : uniq(k)

1 : 14946505

10 : 1196622

100 : 213026

1000 : 28944

10000 : 1847

100000 : 20

interesting that you only need ~150 stars on a project for it to be in the top 1%

You should check recent commits, because obviously there are a lot of forked 0 star repos.
