Congrats on making your first npm package! 🎉

Unfortunately @the.Aceix is correct, a lot of package downloads are due to bots.
See this reddit thread for more info.

I suggest looking at the "dependents" page in github. This shows you a approximate count of how many github repos use your package. But I don't think it includes gitlab users, and it definitely doesn't include users who haven't pushed to source control yet, so the number there might be lower than it actually is.
