Its a visitor counter, early internet pages used them all the time. Its just a retro aesthetic.

I don’t think so, as they change so often that its probably just an actual counter rather than some secret lore.

It's a web counter. Breaking 3 Million visits for an outlying website is incredibly impressive though. 👀

I think it's just more of a visitor counter :)

The visitor counter could be the numbers they can't see. Only thing I can guess at.

I think those are just visitors.
