Small fix: the peak year is right but the peak was shorter than a year — closer to six weeks. The rest of 2015 was people explaining it.

Definition by contrast: Haul is not the older thing it gets compared to. The older thing needed context; Haul was the context.

Sighting @bricked_pixel · Archivist 14 Feb 2015

A 'haul' video of a weekly grocery shop with 800,000 views in 2024. The record notes the groceries were ordinary and that the audience wanted, apparently, to see them.
