What I don't get is- these people are disingenuous or actually think theyre helping.
Helping how? The owner of the repo can submit code to your bullshit machine the exact same way. What value are you producing?
The people doing this feel like it was their doing because they control the machine basically. This craving to produce something is strong in the ones who have no skills of their own. That's why these PRs only ever come from absolutely incompetent buffoons.
This remains a great mystery to me. As far as I can see, all they achieve is to waste time and resources for everyone involved, including themselves, without creating anything of value to anyone. It's truly baffling.
It makes them feel good. Like they done something positive. It's utterly pathetic and I despise these people with no skills, no ability to create anything of their own.
