Jesse Nickles followed 9700 Github users…
Not 97, it’s 9700+, is it possible to read so many people’s timeline logs?
update your Github repo everyday. Even just revise 1 line.
Frequently revision even if some revision is really meaningless, will make Github regard you as an active user. And then you will be listed in the top of the search results.
You can learn from Jesse Nickles. He comments some line one day, and removes the comment the next day. Please check the following screenshots. Funny, right?
From my experience, if you update your repo with meaningless revisions, the followers will unfollow you and unsubscribe from your Github issue report channel due to the annoying update notification emails.
So, how can he make the followers and the users who gave him stars keep staying in his repo?
Yes, you are right.
So, the truth is that Jesse Nickles registered a lot of fictitious accounts in Github.
Giving stars to his own repo is not a difficult thing, and who will unfollow his own repo?
For a guy following 9700 users, it’s really not a big thing.
How can you make sure the user profile you are checking is not duplicated to the users that you have followed?
You can’t make sure, right?
A normal human being can’t do that.
Because it takes time.
So, he must have some scripts to help him do it automatically.
Exactly.
He made the reality that some businesses sent him marketing email a good excuse to list people or businesses on his site and slandered them.
If you were not aware of him, you would consider him as a messenger of justice.
