For the past couple weeks I've noticed this strange outlier in the hot tags bar for this derpixon artist tag that I'd never noticed any real activity for before it suddenly become the top searched tag consistently by a rather substantial amount. It seems like an odd outlier both in terms of art style, the other types of tags seeing a lot of search activity and how much more searches it seems to be getting than anything else. Like some days double or even triple that of Genshin Impact. Not to mention that it only has about 60 or so images associated with it with upload dates typically months or even years apart so I'm kind of confused as to what could even be getting searched for that much under the tag? That and the tag just not really having a whole lot of activity in terms of uploaded images, favorites, comments and likes either that you would typically see with a super blazing hot tag.
Is this like a legit thing that suddenly has a ton of interest on danbooru despite it's small catalogue that I'm just not aware of or is there something weird going on here? I figured on Tuesday after it suddenly spiked to over 30,000 searches in a single day (I don't think I've ever seen anything like that before on this site) that if it stayed as the #1 searched tags for a few more days I'd ask about it since I can't help but be curious with it again seeming like such an outlier in all the above mentioned ways.
