Although I'm not a fan of GH, I appreciate the ability to see how popular/valid some project is by looking at the number of stars (I know this is far from a perfect signal). I'm much less likely to try projects that have a low number of stars, or projects in different places.

    GP explicitly stated that they use stars to determine the popularity of a repository, not the code quality.
