I think it’s due to an incorrect reading of this sentence
“A Strike 3 Holding investigation found that 47 IP addresses belonging to Meta were used to torrent 2,396 of its videos a total of 6,008 times between 2018 and 2025.”
There’s two interpretations of this sentence, that they was a total of 6008 downloads of 2396 videos, so some videos were downloaded multiple times.
The math in that comment is reading it to mean the 2396 items were downloaded 6008 each.
Since the original uses the clarifier “a total of 6,008” the first interpretation is the likely correct one and the commenter accidentally interpreted it the second, incorrect, way.
Easy enough mistake to make if you skip over the phrase “a total of”

I tried it out for a few hobby side projects as someone that doesn’t do much JavaScript development.
It delivered on the dev experience. I didn’t have to learn how to plug a bunch of random tools together because bun had a lot of the basic stuff just bundled in.
Task runner, test runner, typescript, etc.
I think if I spent more time doing JavaScript development work it wouldn’t have really mattered, that project bootstrapping is a one time cost and if you know how to do it it’s cheap enough. As someone that spends most of their time writing other languages though it was nicer than figuring out how to get a bunch of tools to play nice with each other.
