I used to spend a lot of time looking at these figures. Geographically, about 25% of viewers come from the USA.
But I noticed a lot from China. There's a few coming from old reddit and Y combinator threads but the majority
have no referring link. Countries - well reading off the display for the last 24 hours
California,
Quebec
Belgium
Poland
Japan
S. Korea
Toronto
Honduras
Spain
Sydney
New York
Russian Federation
etc etc. Can't keep typing this stuff.
As said there is a hike after the date the videos began. Sure they're real. I don't think a bot can pivot off the videos because the
links are displayed in the videos not in HTML. Other stats - I don't know without diving deeper.
