Visits are cumulative visit counts, not people. Visits and favorites are VRChat’s figures for the world. The concurrent number is what the creator saw on VRChat. Languages come from VAnimal’s hourly record of public instances (September 10 to October 9, weighted by number of people). Posts on X are visitors’ posts that mention the world name or hashtag, collected once a day (September 19 to October 9); some were missed, so the real number is a little higher.
