It looks like network traffic and steam survey data are very noisy. So it's every other month we get articles like "Linux hit a new percentage record" "Linux just fell down 2 percentage points, will it ever recover" The multitude of articles trying to click bait as much as possible is getting annoying after a while.
You don't need a video. You need marketing & communication 101. During covid I am sure some professors uploaded lectures to youtube, or pick up the book if it's more your jam. Think about what you want to communicate to a person coming across your project for the first time. Make bullet points and rank them. Then begin writing including all the information in that order.
A good readme would be sufficient. Go to some popular project and copy their structure of its readme in your project.

It makes sense in Terry A. Davis/Temple OS sense. Someone mentally ill needs everything to be symmetrical. They substitute o with Ⓞ in www.gⓄⓄgle.com I think they use fancy unicode to have a bearable symmetrical font; And someday they found that they can upload stuff to github and they upload what they made.

Edit:
Found blender screenshots, firefox screenshots with some firefox extension config files, SVGs and PNGs, links to alternative 4chans, solidworks tutorials and blender VK groups
They are crazy for using VERY heavily riced windows that is ultra-minimalist white.
Russian hacker for sure. Might or might not have developed malware. I am more inclined for this to be a cloud backup hosted on github.
Interesting that the claim couldn't be replicated. It could just be false positive.
