Have a look at where those downloads are coming from and which packages are actually using it: https://www.npmjs.com/browse/depended/is-even

They're jokes or satire or learning repositories, like `install-is`: "Installing this package installs a bunch of useless packages" or Stalinsort or module-practice-january. The most serious looking dependents are by the same author.



You aren't looking hard enough. The joke libraries don't get any downloads. install-is gets 1 weekly download.
