WAT.
Are these millions and millions of real people clicking Random article all the time? Not search engines or bots or something?
I have no reason to believe it's an especially inflated number: Special:Random is the most common tool for curious users in search of something to read or edit, together with watchlist (which anons don't have) and recent changes. Disbelievers can do some appreciated additional research though. :-)
Do taps on Random article in the apps count as hits to Special:Random?
Not for stats.grok.se, for sure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Killiondude/stats#What_about_mobile.3F
