Messi leads in total attention.
Per video, the leaders change.
Videos featuring Messi collect the most views, likes and comments overall. But Vozinha and Rayan Cherki rank among the highest when engagement is averaged per video. Appearing more often gives a player more chances to accumulate attention.

Nearly half the videos share material
Repeated visual material appears in 772 of the 1,548 videos checked for reuse. Those videos form 124 groups; 71 groups span multiple known accounts.
Shared material connects 167 accounts
A dense central network sits alongside smaller groups and isolated pairs. The links show who posted related material earlier and later, without establishing who copied whom.
Much of the sharing happens quickly. Among 96 groups with enough timestamps, 40 span no more than a day. The longest observed span is 166 days.
Attention drops after the first upload
Median views per day per follower · first observed post = 100%
The earliest post in the collection may not be the original. The drop also does not prove that reposting causes lower engagement: accounts, timing and audiences differ.
