My theory is that these are Gem aggregator bots running on a schedule. They generally post about new gems to other platforms (e.g. Twitter).

I wonder about this sort of thing. I have a test gem in my account that's been downloaded more than 1000 times (it doesn't do anything).

There must be some processes out there that download gems periodically.
