people who want to go viral have it in their head that it feels like being a headliner at madison square garden, meanwhile those who have gone viral know that it feels more like being an exhibit at an overcrowded zoo

This tiger said some fucked up shit ten years ago about something that wasn't relevant then but is now!
Even if the viral post is about something completely innocent! Like of course some people are going to get nasty if it touches on something political or "controversial" but if your viral post is just a cute animal or silly joke... they will still get nasty
The type of overcrowded zoo where the exhibits are in cages so the more obnoxious children can poke with sticks.
shockingly apropos: zoos charge admission but the exhibits don't get paid
People who have never gone viral on a traditional social platform don't understand that the posts you deliberately construct to be viral are dead in the water before you ever post them but an off-hand remark you made at 3 AM expecting no one to ever see it will get fifty billion likes and a site-wide sidebar spot
YEP!
I had exactly one post go viral and I had to mute it. It ended up with like 80k likes (which is low on the viral scale) and I'm EXTREMELY GRATEFUL that I only got like three or four weird DMs from people
I never went accidentally-wildly-viral on Twitter myself, but my best ever tweet was a meme video that only got to 6k. Actually it felt bad to keep tweeting after that because the site is so geared for ranked competitive attention whoring and I never got anywhere close to that again...
