One guy said there is a big Indian programming channel (TV or YouTube not sure) that promoted hacktoberfest yesterday and showed some steps on how to participate. So my guess is he showed them how to add "Amazing Project" kinds of comments and how to issue a PR and they all run with it thinking that's how contribution is done.
I have been a software professional since I was in high school in 1998. I'm enthusiastic about open source, and I really enjoy working in unusual software systems or within strange constraints.

I am really having a blast reading through some of the PRs 😂
Good stuff ahah!
I wonder how many of those are bots. I definitely see a pattern in the PRs.
Personally, I don't think they are bots.

This is just gross.
