What's qDot Up To This Week? (2020-07-06 Edition)

·3 min read

Being my own social media intern.

Most of last week was spent tracking the media spread of the Animal Crossing/CGHR project. It managed to hit Vice, DailyDot, Kotaku, AVClub, and a ton of European, South American, and Chinese outlets too. Still seeing posts here and there today, but it's mostly died down now. Overall, reaction was neutral. Lots of confusion, lots of misreporting about how the system worked, but Youtube traffic bumped 100% over the past 2 weeks, got about a 10% follower increase on Twitter, and Buttplug website traffic is up 2-4x. I expect all of those numbers to fall off pretty quick.
