I didn't stop when it became a thing, I stopped after running the site for over 5 years and algorithms changed and it became more of an adops arbitrage opportunity than actually "going viral." The occurance rate of true virility dropped orders of magnitude once everyone started leveraging the same headlines, etc.
I'll read your post
- gavinhoward 3y ago> I stopped after running the site for over 5 years and algorithms changed That's exactly when it became a thing because algorithms are 50% of the reason stuff goes viral or not. > it became more of an adops arbitrage opportunity than actually "going viral." If you did run a site, I think I could believe this too.
- Exuma 3y agoI think you're thinking I'm doubting some ability you have to go viral, I'm not even talking about that at all. I never was, I just brought it up because you made some point like "just be sure you go viral as well", and it was a curious (hilarious) thought that I owned one of the largest viral sites. My original comment was really simply just about....... giving your writing the headline it deserves, one that highlights your unique perspective/life experience, one draws me in. Shows me some curious aspect about your perspective I can learn from Thats' what I want to read, not another garbage in garbage out bullshit headline. But do your thang
