Is it a success? What would that mean, for a social media site that isn't meant for humans?
The site has 1.5 million agents but only 17,000 human "owners" (per Wiz's analysis of the leak).
It's going viral because a some high-profile tastemakers (Scott Alexander and Andrej Karpathy) have discussed/Tweeted about it, and a few other unscrupulous people are sharing alarming-looking things out of context and doing numbers.

For a social media that isn't meant for humans, some humans seem to enjoy it a lot, although indirectly.
This is the equivalent of a toddler being entertained by the sound the straps on their Velcro shoes make when they get peeled back and forth.
To be fair, that’s about the intelligence level of the “humans” looking at the site and enjoying it.
“The rocks are conscious” people are dumber than toddlers.
