Its on the front page, that means it atttracted attention and was upvoted. If what you are saying was true, these posts would die very quickly and we would never see them. Maybe its just you who doesnt like them?

It's a quick signal that the developer is capable of writing and maintaining code that can be used by many others.

Although commits can be gamed on GitHub, stars are significantly harder to game as they require human accounts to be doing so.
You could game a few stars with sockpuppet accounts, but it's infeasible to game 100+ stars.

It is a joke about how stupid and pointless pushes to require "age verification" online are. Such efforts have been in the news a lot recently.
