Yesterday I posted this question about tyre smoke of big and small airplanes. I got answers very fast which is great. Then, I closed the tab and went to do something else. When I checked my SE inbox this morning, I almost fell from the chair to see that I had got 3 upvotes, 1000+ views and the "question with 1k views" badge in only 12 hours ! In the rest of the day, I got another 1000 views and another two upvotes. Of course I'm happy about this :) - but I would like to know why ? Could it be a bot ?
