Whats Trending?

Hey everyone today I'm going to decipher why videos and/or stories go viral and become trending on social media. When looking at the current trending stories on social media you notice all of them one thing in common, they are all relatable. Whether it be kids doing something funny or someone showing kindness that isn't seen everyday these are all relatable to everyone and this is a big part of why videos go viral. Unique content is another reason why videos can go viral and become trending on social media, but the question is what makes each video unique when so much has been there done that online in this day and age? Well there is no definitive answer when it comes down to it, it's just a lot trail and error, finding the right sites to publish onto like reddit or hacker news. When looking back at the recent videos or stories I have been reading lately I have found that I have been watching a lot of time-lapse videos like this video of a man proposing over a whole year. But these videos don't interest everyone so you have to find what works for you best and harness it. If your looking for some more info on how to make a video go viral sus out this link.

Your one and only,
