A couple of years in the past, a video may very well be thought of “viral” if it hit one million views. Now I’d prefer to suggest a extra stringent definition, and let you know that President Obama meets the standards.
A video, I submit, is “viral” if it will get greater than 5 million views in a 3-7 day interval. So Obama getting greater than 6 million views in every week is certainly viral. You might be right, Michael Memoli. Nonetheless a lot of your friends discuss movies going viral with out actually contemplating the competitors… many high YouTubers get extra movies in a day than what media considers a viral sensation.
One caveat, nonetheless. A part of what makes a video “viral” is not only the views however the diploma of dialogue on-line and offline (media). Right here we get right into a “rooster and the egg” challenge, for the reason that video’s viral nature could immediate “protection,” which evokes much more views (though lower than you’d assume). Most views are pushed by on-line exercise not tv or print protection.
