People Reveal the Realities of Going Viral

Source: Whisper

“Viral” is really a hard thing to nail down a definition for. I mean, sure, we all understand that it means a thing that spread around a lot, but how of “a lot” before it reaches the point of viral? Is it thousands of views? Hundreds of thousands? Millions? Over what period of time?

I suppose it’s more one of those “I don’t know how to describe it, but I know it when I see it” kind of things.

But what’s it like when it happens to YOU? Let’s see what these anonymous contributors had to say.

10. The kid

I recently saw an interview with the “Have You Ever Had a Dream” kid as an adult and it was trippy.

In your life? Your mood? Your cause?

There’s a price to fame. Even fleeting fame.

Stay careful out there. Virality might not be all it’s cracked up to be.
