I think it's just a fun gimmick. Like when they divided reddit into the two the "armies" - periwinkle and orangered.

At first I had doubts whether it's an actual representation of mouse clicks, or if it's just simulating the data. However it does appear to be making API calls in sync with the number refreshing, and the participant rate of change increases during peak hours.
