Star, as a measure of the popularity of an open source project, has gradually changed in recent years. Previously, we reported that there is an industry chain for brushing stars in China. Recently, another developer exposed a domestic open source AI framework that cooperates with media platforms to brush stars.
According to the news, this developer suddenly received a red envelope private message sent to him from CSDN recently. The red envelope reads "You order Star, I will give you a gift":
The developer clicked in and found that it was the promotion page of the open source AI framework MegEngine. The page shows that as long as you click on the star for the item, you can get a 5 yuan red envelope, a commemorative T-shirt, a customized keyboard tray, technical books, hashrate cards and other gifts.
The act of brushing Star has always been contemptuous in the open source world. In August last year, SK Telecom, the largest wireless communication service provider in South Korea, launched a marketing campaign that lit up Stars to give away prizes in order to star a real-time data analysis project called Metatron Discovery (based on a customized version of Apache Druid). This event allowed the project to obtain more than 2500 Stars in one day. Although SK Telecom was forced to remove the project due to pressure from public opinion, the scoring incident still brought a great negative impact.
It is reported that the promotion page of the cooperation between CSDN and MegEngine has been removed, and the two parties have not yet responded to this matter.
