npm download numbers are always exceptionally inflated. I'm sure that number serves some purpose, but I've never found them to be a useful metric when I've worked on public packages. An ancient post [1] for the defunct npm blog offers some details: > So the count of “downloads” is much larger than the number of people who typed “npm install yourpackage” on any given day. I'm sure the particulars have changed over time, but directionally, npm download numbers aren't a proxy for "# of developers using my package".
