MSE Sales Diary wrong? 3,305 views at 7:30am!

Surely this ticker is wrong?!?!

Is this really correct that MSE's High Street Sales Diary has already had 3,305 hits by 7:20am this morning?? Other website that I am aware provide similar (or even better) information, such as https://www.januarysales.com, https://www.lynku.com/list, https://www.salemole.com do not get this web traffic.

I know MSE is awesome, but are this many people really logging on gone midnight, or checking it before they've even got out of bed? Also the ticker hasn't moved in the last 20 minutes....I don't get it!

Does anyone know how this works?

    3.3K hits wouldn't be surprising at all, a site of this magnitude would easily be able to have that many requests by that time. Each to their own really as to which site people use.

    Don't forget staff and friends and family of staff as well as people who lurk (read but don't post) on here, and the old faithful M&S shoppers who sit and wait for sales like this. And then overseas people.... plus the people who are used to getting up at 5am for work 6 days a week (many people do in London as I hear them and see them!)

    3.5K is actually alot less then I would have thought!
