Interestingly, as of a few days there's been an ecosystem-wide collapse in download counts, **all** following the exact same cliff pattern. 👀

Are we are auto-filling the zeroed days from the graph with a estimate? Vite went from 160M to 100M, a ~37% drop, while two zeroed days wrongly accounted would be a ~28% fall.

While that'd explain the pattern, it's odd that for some packages (webpack, fastify, express...) the spike after the first dip is close to the "original" values whereas for some the spike is still well below them 🤔

This is a good explanation if we aren't correcting that zeroed days, though.
