Over the course of this week and a half, my team’s viral video reached just over 300 people. This is far from ‘viral’ but never the less a sizeable sum. I actually did not expect to get more than 100 views on the video. It takes something very special, often unplanned and not creatable to make an internet hit. Unfortunatly, this video was not the special that was required for virality. The internet is hard to please, as one commenter (who was voted up 4 times) noted, “This looks like a small child got their hands on a copy of premier, or even windows movie maker, and then applied as many filters as they could to a video shot by someone with epilepsy. “
Regardless of video content (it was said that content is not necessarily important) we attempted to spread the video in as many ways as we could; telling people in class, friends and even family members to look at it and share it. However, it seems that it barely got any more views after the first set of viewers. From Monday to Tuesday of the first week, our view count jumped from 0 to 262, but in the following week, barely an extra 40 views were to be had.
