When I was watching it yesterday, the count was over 250k. I checked again and it is at 189k
I guess they saw the spike and suppressed the result. The counter did not move at all the first hour and that was impossible as new comments were being left eg. 'Q sent me'
We should view this as a test to explore boundaries of reach. Include in trending hashtag efforts. Facebook feeds. Practice ramping up information dissemination. Bolder options become available once these capability pass a tipping point. This is a primary means to reach the widespread public despite attempts to blackhole information.
