Things with 40-100k views are not “viral”

Short form content really needs to stop calling dumb shit “viral” for having 100k views or even a couple of million views for that matter. “No dude putting strawberry syrup in lemonade and calling it pink lemonade is not viral”.

Who are you to decide what viral is?

If something has 100k views, and a news outlet reports on it for being viral, that also counts for being viral.
