Having been involved in a few projects that have “gone viral,” I can tell you that it’s a really wild, short ride, and then you’re just kinda sitting there with your hair blown back for a while, preparing to occasionally get messages about it for the rest of your life.
But that’s not everyone’s experience, of course. Some bring something more – some bring things that are unwanted and last for far too long. Let’s have a look at a few tidbits from anonymous contributors who have experienced virality themselves.

2. Order in the court
I would have thought that just the act of being on television isn’t super covert but ok.
