- The trend look 100% legit based on non-exponential organic growth/plateau.
- Removing & reentering the trendlist has nothing to do with bots. Its an algorithmic precaution by Twitter itself because if too many hashtags with similar spellings are trending, then they want to make sure its not all spam.
- In the Indian context, this is genuinely a major social media fan engagement milestone. I'm sure it'll be broken again by Sid/Asim/some other fandom since we still have ~ 1.5 months left, but the magnitude of this should not be underrated. This is a huge thing for a guy who, 100 days ago, nobody knew existed. If any of you guys trended for this, don't let anybody make you feel like shit about it. Great job! :)
Lastly, if anybody wants to take a look at the state of unemployment and delusions of grandeur in our stardom obsessed country, please take a look at Vindu Singh's twitter. He is in rare form tonight. He is going between:
- getting angry at Asim fans for trending lol
- calling Asim trends fake
- getting angry at Sid fans for not trending fast enough
- taking credit for how well organized Sid's fandom is 🤣
