KONY Sequel Got 2% of the Traffic of Its Predecessor

More than a week after KONY 2012: Part II – Beyond Famous hit YouTube, the video, which was also created by Invisible Children, has racked up about 1.7 million views. That’s less than 2% of the traffic that KONY 2012 got in its first five days. Part II’s performance shows that the success of the initial video will be hard, if not impossible, to repeat.

Senh: I'm sure Jason Russell's public meltdown has a lot to do with the sequel's decreased views. People are probably confused as to whether or not to continue their support, which leads to less clicks on the "Like" button.
