I got unexpected high numbers on my day 1 too and I thought new packages they are downloaded by bots because there's no way that can happen. Doesn't even happen with YouTube

Yeah this may be a reason. Because this was very unexpected for me to see the numbers. I just have posted on Dev.to and LinkedIn and it got so much downloads. At first i got confused then thought leave it just celebrate. :)

I honestly agree! I swear the downloads on my NPM packages are not 100% legit, I feel like the stats calculations are just not accurate.
