The reason is simple.

These guys are really, really obsessed with download counts. They brag a lot about that in twitter every time they have a chance.

What they want to reuse is the package name.

So now they launch whatever bullshit they are playing with now under the “remix” package and the next day they’ll say “look… we have N thousands downloads per second!!! We are so successful”

They did this multiple times. And will keep doing it because they are obsessed with this.
