Why has there been such an influx of users these past couple days?

The past few weeks have been pretty grim here in terms of daily user count. Let's be honest.

Compared to what we were used to seeing the months before (5-6k) we'd dropped down to 3-4k quite consistently.

It's certainly noticeable. The frequency / quality of posts and discussion drops considerably and it's not as fun to be here. I would honestly say r/cc is more of a hobby for me at this point so having that drop in quality isn't the best.

But lo and behold, the past 2 days has seen a considerable spike in user count. While it's about 6.5k at the time of writing this, I've seen 8-9k at regular intervals and we almost peaked 10k earlier.

I feel like I've missed something key. Is there any reason for the jump? Moon distribution caused a little spark in dormant users? The recent dip got people licking their lips for a sale? Some dogshit meme coin is now going to take the world by storm for 8 days?

Any insight would be great. I've been busy with work this week so not caught up on everything. So may just be me being an idiot.
