To be fair this is a terminal file manager... only a certain kind of person will be interested in the first place, and those people are likely to be more inclined to leave a star on GitHub.
Personally I believe the stars were achieved naturally but of course there's no way to know and it never hurts to be skeptical.
that's the point
I don't see that connection. But you know what, here is an example.
Broot is a similar program. It has been there for longer, has been loved by many, yet it has fewer stars.
If I would know more of those like this, I would probably have more examples.
