Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Seeing this stuff is pretty cool, though. It looks like… video views have grown a lot? Does anyone have any insight as to what the “+113% YOY” means?
(Also, it’s kinda funny that it’s 113%)

My son, in the "Core" category by age, could not care less about Transformers. None of his friends at school or even playground acquaintances show any interest whatsoever. He has no real curiosity about TFs despite wanting to do almost any other activity that dad does.
I never see kids evaluating TF toys when I'm shopping.
Like I said, I'm not doubting them, I am just super curious about where these kids are and how Hasbro is getting this information.

Apparently this is pretty well known in the industry but I have to wonder how they know this. I know I've never answered this question on a poll before so how do they know an adult buying a toy is buying it for a kid versus themselves?
I have seen kids buying Transformers including one loud kid I could overhear from the next aisle over trying to decide what to get and settling on a Siege Mirage. They're out there, though if you go to a store any time other than late afternoon the chances you'll see kids in the toy aisle at all are pretty slim. I really see more adults there than anything.

I don't doubt you,but currently,COVID might also influence this.
