Was curious, so I did some spelunking to see what the "Billion Downloads Club" looks like on @nuget. Since I don't have internal stats, this meant clicking through profiles on the first 10 pages of the Packages list. The 18 members: 361B - Microsoft 273B - dotnetframework 118B - ASPNET 12.4B - dotnetfoundation 7.6B - AzureSDK 6.5B - Xamarin 5.8B - EntityFramework 4.8B - JamesNK 4.6B - Serilog 3.5B - XUnit 3.1B - AWSdotnet 2.3B - Swashbuckle 2.0B - advancedrei (me) 1.9B - Humanizer 1.2B - marc.gravel 1.1B - jbogard 1.1B - grpc-packages 1.1B - google-apis-packages Takeaways: - Top 7 are Microsoft accounts with lots of overlap - Remaining 11 account for 26.7B downloads Pretty cool! Congrats to @JamesNK @jbogard @awscloud and everyone else on here!
