IMDB starmeter popularity changes.
IMDB Starmeter measures the degree of interest, in any person on its database, by the number of visitors each entry receives. By this measure, something strange has happened in the last week.
Today, my IMDB meter says it is "down 4%" on last week. Ainan's IMDB starmeter, is "up 7%" and my wife, Syahidah Osman Cawley's IMDB starmeter is "up 88%". Now, I must confess I don't understand how such a strange set of popularity changes could have occurred: what event, unknown to us, in the world, has caused Syahidah's popularity to rocket...but that of her husband and son to remain essentially unchanged? The thing is, I know of nothing, in which only Syahidah would have been mentioned, that has happened in the last week.
So, even though IMDB reveals changes in popularity, it doesn't, necessarily identify the reasons for those changes. In the last week, something has happened, to make large numbers of people - almost twice the previous week's tally - to check Syahidah's IMDB page. What could it be? What has focussed attention on her, but not on her son, or her husband?
I have no idea. If you do, please let me know in the comments below, what unknown event has caused this change. It must be something that acts differently on each of us.
I ask, for one reason: usually I can guess the causes of changes of IMDB starmeter rankings - for I am usually aware of some corresponding event, be it news article or tv show. This week, however, I have no idea: so do let me know, if you do.
Thanks.

I'll give you credit for honesty anyway. I'm sure the Internet is full of narcissistic enough to monitor their stat like this, but most are too embarrassed to admit they do so.
Hmm...actually, I am waiting for IMDB to implement an update of the information. That is why I was checking.
Anyway, I see nothing wrong in being aware of what is happening on IMDB. It gives me clues about what might be happening in the world, with respect to my family. This time, for instance, I cannot explain its movement and do not know what could have happened to cause this behaviour. I am just curious.
Best wishes.
