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.
