I like that he's honest about getting obsessed by it, and feeling down after the attention was gone. He could've easily played it down claiming it was just for shits and giggles and didn't mean anything. "I'll never make anything again in my life that reaches 70M people" must take a while to sink in.

I guess he has come to accept that ship has sailed.

  Well done, bravo! how does it feel to know you’ve made the best and most well timed joke you’ll ever make?

    Ah yes, yours must be the snarkiest reply ever given.

      I interpreted it as a reference to the feelings of OP. Don't think it was intended as snarky? Maybe my snark detector is broken, English is secondary language for me.

        I also understood it that way but I can understand how some folks may get it the other way.

There's people that have turned single serving sites[0] into a sport and probably enjoy even wilder success than the stuck ship site. There's a tonne of sites like this here: https://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/ https://www.reddit.com/r/InternetIsBeautiful/ It's not hard to get something going viral anyway. Just make the topic related to something recent in the news, cobble together some basic HTML, purchase a domain, then get 'influencer' type accounts on Twitter to retweet your link and ask a few journos to write an article about it and you're off.

  Can't view that reddit page without logging on or using their app. How ironic.

    Are you on phone or pc. I could view it fine on phone and pc in browser without app and without an account. Not sure if familiar with reddit but definitely don't need account or app.

      I'm on phone and very very familiar with reddit (as in: I enjoy it a bit too much for my own good) . When I visited the link I got the following message: > To view posts in r/InternetIsBeautiful you must continue in Reddit app or log in. These are per-subreddit rules I assume. Other subreddits works fine on phone without logging on. Edit: Here is some thread about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/epsv9m/apparently_mobile_web_users_now_have_to_login/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ModSupport/comments/epsv9m/apparent... So it appears to be dependent on my location as well. Not my cup of "internet is beautiful".

Experiencing this just once creates a strong desire (addiction?) to make something popular online again. It's just really interesting to tweak these things and follow their growth (and have sleepless nights when things go wrong).
