I was being a little facetious, since I know she doesn't. (Pika's lovely but that's a lot of views!)
After doing some sleuthing. The steady trickle of new views can be attributed to the video having the same name as the game. The Pocket Planes shorts on Nimblebit's youtube account all have the same pattern, with sustained increasing views even many months after the video was posted.
But that doesn't explain those two spikes. Interestingly, some of the other top videos that come up when you search for Papers, Please on youtube have similar spikes... but not all of them. :/ If it were just people searching for the videos due to, say, the BAFTA, I would have guessed the spikes would occur across all Papers, Please videos. But they don't.
I don't know. It's curious! I hope the spikes come back.
EDIT:
IT CAME BACK
April 28. I watched it spike today. Wonder why? Maybe the game's wins at the Games for Change festival???
Edit: August 12th: Happy 100,000 views, darling little video. <3
