such a good, sad window. these side quest conspiracies are just desperate attempts to protect an alternate reality they've been fed algorithmically. the utter popularity of this film is evidence that they live in a bubble of insanity. so they recruit new "evidence" so as not to confront that truth

even if this is wrong, online view metrics are defined by each platform (and on X where his numbers are sometimes enormous, there’s no definition of what counts as a “view”) to the point that view counts are, at best random and suspect and, at worst, total bullshit.
