I’m just wondering if anyone that is closer to this space could shed some light on if this $2.5B valuation seems more or less accurate? I have played around with n8n - I just didn’t know if it was ubiquitous/profitable. $180m round seemed pretty huge but maybe it’s really a unicorn?

Definitely, no stars have been bought, and none will ever be. It would go literally against everything we stand for and one of our core values, "Act with Integrity".
Well done, you earned them :) (sorry for doubting)
And all fine. I know there is a lot of that going on out there. So, I can not blame you at all.

They've been growing exponentially the last couple years because of affiliate marketing in large part
Any more details on how they made this work for them? Hard to pull off.
What is this thing? IFTTT?
147k stars and currently the 38th most starred repo on all of GitHub [0, 1]. Seems odd that a project has so many stars yet is largely unfamiliar to much of HN (corrections appreciated). I asked an LLM if there's ways to detect suspicious starring activity (e.g. if stars were purchased). It suggested checking the project's star history [2] (doesn't appear suspicious). It also suggested the stars to issues ratio. n8n…
I represent one of those stars. N8N is an amazing system. I use it daily and have seen incredible progress made consistently over the past few years. Currently my team use it for processing millions of workflows each year on a very small server and it hasn't cost us a cent so I would give them more than 1 star if I could. I wouldn't build a new system without it to be honest.
Shame it's not FOSS. There's still https://www.windmill.dev/ though.

I built a GitHub-native coding / review agent that outperforms CodeRabbit (by a lot), and it only took me like two hundred hours. There are a few of us using it at work, meanwhile CodeRabbit is valued at $550M.

It got viral on Tiktok of all places a while back, so I'm not surprised at the number of stars.
Surprised there's much overlap between users of Tiktok and GitHub, but perhaps I'm just old :)
5000 n8n workflows that made me millions. 1 n8n workflow that made me 5k per hour... It's an okay product I appreciate that it's selfhosted with good documentation but they absolutely destroyed their brand with excessive affiliate marketing and now nothing of substance is left if you search for it anywhere.

This comment got me digging, n8n actually has a pretty good post-open source license[1] - I'm glad to see more successful examples of this sort of licensing in the wild [1]: https://docs.n8n.io/sustainable-use-license/
This is basically just allowing self-hosting of a third-party's cloud, which is an improvement over traditional SaaS, but shouldn't dilute the FOSS label.
