They can get a small celebrity, nothing legit can explain such a growth in term of stars or forks in just a couple of days in my opinion ...

Like when you have nothing to show off, after the first day, already gaining thousands of stars per day. And the last 5 days, with 2 or more thousands per day consistently, linearly...

And let's say that we believe in the stars, just look at the number of forks, why so many persons would fork the project so fast, to still do nothing, no contribution or personal commits. Accounts of new users, or almost empty, or shaddy like the following one: https://github.com/1234567891o12?tab=repositories

https://github.com/kietsyu?tab=overview&from=2025-02-01&to=2...

https://github.com/jakele86?tab=overview&from=2025-03-01&to=...

https://github.com/Lukriss98?tab=overview&from=2024-06-01&to...

Or the following one that is quite fun:
