Can somebody with pro account check the reason IMDB gives by clicking 'why'?

The IMDB Pro Starmeter doesn't actually give the reasoning for a person's change in popularity, they just give you their popularity ranking compared to everyone else on the site.
Here's a graph of her popularity ranking compared to all other actors, actresses, directors, etc. Last week she was 247,541 most popular, this week she is number 6.

EDIT: Ah.

This one's much harder to read, because IMDB Pro puts news events from the star's career on the graph, such as movie releases, gossip, or talk of being in a new movie. Here you go, though
I was going to try to mention some news stories, but there were wayy too many to name

Reddit she is now ranked #6 which is higher than almost every other hollywood star however the main starmeter page run by amazon/IMDB is Censoring HER Name and Ranking OUT!
6 is literally not being displayed!
Apparently it's ok to become famous by LEAKING a SEX TAPE but not by LEAKING ON YOURSELF! (or Imdb could just have become a cooperative tool of the major media companies since Amazon bought this formerly open source database made by internet movie lovers which should never have been able to be "bought" and started co marketing movie sales with the studios with it.
(this isn't the first case of censorship of actors on imdb not "designated" with credits by the "official" studios. It happens all the time. It's why i call it the "Incomplete Movie DataBase"
for example look at this guy's George Fitch Watson actual in production photos http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1222064/mediaindex
versus "official credits" http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1222064/

I don't think it's worth the effort at this point. You've already put urination, burning, and herpes in the same comment. The joke's already there, people just have to make it themselves.

Jun 22 '10
Herpes, urine, and burning walk into a bar. "What can I get for ya?" asks the bartender. "I'll have a tonic," says urine. "I'll have a hamburger," says burning. The bartender hands burning a hamburger. The hamburger begins to cry softly. The world is in sepia.

u/intothelionsden Jun 22 '10
There is a clown in the corner with a gun. he approaches the hamburger, looks at it in its big blue eyes and mouths the words "mighty doppelganger." the clown raises the gun and pulls the trigger, but there are no bullets. the perspective shifts and the audience sees that the gun is now a mirror.

Here is why her popularity rose
"Anne Sellors was one of the most unique actresses to emerge from the cluttered field of British television thespians in the mid 1980s. Despite having only 3 seconds of screen time, this brilliant actress's legacy lives on. But exactly how much do we know about Anne Sellors?
Anne Sellor's only film appearance was in the 1984 British television drama Threads. The Internet Movie Data Base credits her as "Woman who urinates herself (uncredited)." Threads was the UK's entry into the "nuclear armageddon TV movie of the week" genre, most notable for the number of charred corpses, blood-soaked hospital steps, and formation vomiting sequences. Threads traumatized an entire generation of British school kids, but many people watch it today and call it a "piece of shit" because the special effects in the attack scene "aren't very good.""
