Hitting 10,000 free downloads on my pattern made me sit down

I posted a crochet pattern for a weird hat back in March mostly as a joke, and last night the counter ticked past 10,000 downloads with zero paid promotion. I spent 3 hours just staring at the comments, people from Brazil to Norway saying they made it for their cats. Has anyone else hit a random milestone like this that felt way bigger than it should have?

Always figured download counts were just noise, but seeing strangers halfway across the world make your dumb cat hat hits different. Something that small turning into a thing people actually do is weirder and better than any number I ever cared about before.
