How PolyBuzz got its users
Installs most likely come from paid creators with promo codes and from Meta ads built in the same creator style. Confidence: medium
Main channel: Creators and UGC, as the reading above names it
Creators and UGCMeta adsYouTubeApp Store search and chartsPress and articlesPosts on X
Bar length: how much evidence we found for the channel, on a log scale (ad-days for ads, likes for creator posts, views for own posts and YouTube, articles, episodes, ratings). It shows where the evidence is, not a measured install share.

Creator posting patterns
posting patterns of 92 creators; 26 profiles checked so far
27 of 92 creator profiles checked: 18 with "one post", 4 with "2-3 posts, 30+ days apart", 4 with "several posts within a month", 1 with "4+ posts over 30+ days".
Transcripts: Whisper, first 60 seconds of each video, as heard (names can be misspelled). No speech means silent, music only or a slideshow; then the on-screen text is shown. Storylines are read by AI from the frames and the transcript.

Daily tracker, 2026-10-16: the rating count and average in each country's App Store, and the best position in Apple's top 100 for the category (overall when only that). A dash: not in that top 100. Listing language: whether the App Store listing is in the country's main language. Ads in it: share of the dissected ads in that language.

0254 of 57 active creatives are distinct dissected videos; image and carousel ads are counted but not dissected.
032 collected ads show no PolyBuzz: Chat with Characters content and are left out of every count.
04Creator types: 26 of 92 creator profiles opened; 65 creators stay "not checked yet" until checked.
05Creator post counts differ for 5 of 92 creators (search hits vs profile count). Tables use the profile count.
06Reviews per month: 532 of 945 fall in the last four months. That is the review feed window, not real volume, so it is not used as a signal.
0710 accounts found in searches are left out of the creator counts: 8 point at another app or are named like the app without being it, 2 never name, tag or link it.

The corpus header says data was collected 2026-10-05
No founder interview, podcast or Reddit data exists

Paid: every active ad found for the advertiser in the Meta Ad Library with start date and variant count as Meta publishes them; videos fetched for analysis only and deleted after frames, transcript and OCR were derived; one model read per creative into a fixed schema. Organic: public profile counts only. Creators count only when a caption tags, links or names the app (graded per creator). Founder statements quoted verbatim and checked by code. Estimates labelled and linked. Not affiliated with the app or its publisher.
