I think someone with a decent following must have streamed Wolfcam’s Boston Talk to English Translation. Today, it has a thousand more takes than countries of the world, but isn’t on the front page—very cool! Anyone know what’s up?
It's possible that someone simply shared it in a private group with a lot of members (e.g. a boston facebook group) and that's how it got so many plays.
You better believe I hope every day that this happens to one of my quizzes loooool.
I should probably look into who the big geography streamers are and actually email them. I bet I could make some quizzes that’d be particularly good for streaming. I’d just have to make sure they actually look good.
I knew something was up, but don't know what it could be.
Funny, because my quiz also got highlighted, in a YouTube video. Not the most popular YT creator, but still cool. Capybarra notified me of this, so thanks to him!
And even so, this barely moves the needle. I wouldn't have noticed except that Dimby pointed it out. Today we might see something like a 2% increase in quizzes taken and 5% increase in accounts created compared to expected.
Its' nothing like when we went viral on Facebook in 2014 and saw traffic go up 500% overnight!
Spanish contributes to so little of the overall activity here, so it's probably not noticeable among overall traffic, but I know there were many occasions last year where quizzes went "viral" (nothing compared to English's takes) thanks to someone's video on TikTok.
This happened with a lot of Municipalities in [Spanish Province or Region] as well as Municipalities in [Colombian Department].
I've tried reaching out via JetPunk to the TikToker that helped increase Colombian traffic last year, but I heard nothing. I just don't understand TikTok enough to get on there and contact him that way. His name is Geomackenzie. Not incredibly popular, but he noticeably increased Colombian traffic last year.

I bet your quizzes would make a killing!
Edit: oh, a #1 GeoGuessr player? Maybe he’d be offended by my MapHunter series 😅

It's pretty surprising to me how rarely this happens.
Except for Google search we get almost no traffic from external referrals. And most of our Google traffic is just people searching for JetPunk.
We might have like 5 days a year which have measurable viral traffic.

But rarely does a quiz ever go viral enough to register. Overall, our traffic is remarkably consistent over time.
