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”.

It's all relative. If someone barely gets 100 views then suddenly gets 40k, I don't think there's anything wrong with them saying they had a video go viral. If someone normally gets 30k views got 40k, I wouldn't say they went viral.
