Reelshort’s ranking on the free list in the US App Store for iOS
Reelshort’s ranking on the bestseller list in the US App Store for iOS
A certain stock started rising on the 6th.
Pay attention to the release date of the app, it has been unknown for a year, and suddenly it becomes popular overnight?
Then, the time difference between the US and China is 12 hours, but the Chinese A-shares reacted 12 hours earlier than the US, quite interesting.
Let me explain, the bestseller list can be understood as the “big spender” list, and the free list is the download list, both can be manipulated.
In conclusion, please think about how big is the “plate” when considering it hasn’t entered the top 10 bestsellers after fermenting for so long, and how much money has been stirred up this time in the Chinese A-shares… Don’t be scared by the 5.4 million US dollars, any of the top 10 games on the overseas bestseller list can easily crush it, but how big is the gaming market compared to the short film market? Look at how much the stock value has risen, and then consider how insignificant 5.4 million US dollars really are.
Beware of those in the comments who only talk about feasibility, but ignore the issue of the “plate” size.
Don’t let them divert the contradictions. Let’s watch the show for a while and see how much money the people behind it are willing to spend to keep this thing on the bestseller list for a while. Isn’t this a spectacle worth watching?
