My latest digital painting hit 10,000 views on ArtStation overnight

I posted a fantasy scene I made in Procreate, thinking maybe a few hundred people would see it. Woke up to the notification and it blew my mind because my usual stuff gets maybe 2,000. I think it went a bit viral because I used a really bright color palette that stood out. Has anyone else had a piece suddenly take off like that for a weird reason?

Wait, is that 10,000 views or likes? Views on ArtStation can be a bit inflated from bots. Still, that's a huge jump from your usual numbers.

@the_jake how do you even check for bot views on there? I've seen some artists get crazy numbers overnight but their comment sections are totally dead. Makes you wonder what the real engagement is.
