Crazy Pieces' 'Best College!' wakes up nineteen days after posting
A video that had settled into a few hundred views a day suddenly drew about a million and a half in one day.
Why this story? The video is running at 1,632,754 views a day, 5643 times its usual pace (289).
Best College! #gcu
Late, but loud. 'Best College! #gcu' went up on Crazy Pieces on September 11 and spent its first weeks drifting along, picking up a few hundred views on an ordinary day. Then, nearly three weeks in, it took in about 1.6 million views in a single day, almost everything it has ever collected.
That is thousands of times this video's usual pace. For a clip that looked finished with its first run, it amounts to a second debut, arriving long after the first one had faded.
The title gives little away: a two-word verdict, an exclamation mark and the hashtag #gcu. There is no description to fill in the rest, so which college earns the crown, and who makes the case for it, stays with the people watching. What set the video off at this point is not in the facts either. The jump came nineteen days after the upload, not in the days right after it went up.
