Imagine if you were a viral content creator

I once tried to learn to be a content creator. Due to limited equipment and a lack of video editing knowledge, none of my videos went viral. Furthermore, there were no teachers available to teach in my area, and I didn't take any online courses. So, everything fell apart, so I decided to stop creating content.

Until 2022, a friend introduced me to #hive.blog After hearing his explanation and learning a bit, I decided to get involved with hive. I didn't have to wait for it to go viral before getting paid. Just being consistent and adhering to all the rules would definitely get me upvotes. I really enjoyed it, despite the many twists and turns. To this day, I still feel that we are appreciated here.

Everyone hopes their videos will go viral, including me. But I'm not sure what's behind the virality of a video. Sometimes I wonder why a video can go viral when its content is neither meaningful nor useful, and even uninteresting at all, yet it manages to become a hit. viral, do you also think the same as me? Oh, maybe luck is on his side.

Nowadays, many people are chasing virality by making extreme videos, even extremely extreme ones, risking their lives just to gain popularity. I think it's beyond reason and unreasonable. Even though the video might not necessarily go viral, the risk is real. The slightest mistake can lead to a catastrophic change. This kind of behavior is often done by those who don't think clearly, their right brains aren't functioning properly. They only focus on their main goal, ignoring the risks involved and whether their actions will go viral. They only care about a sliver of hope that can lead them to glory.

Content creators feel incredibly proud and satisfied when they go viral. They think this is the beginning of their success, and they'll become famous in a matter of seconds, causing everyone to talk about them. The most anticipated thing for content creators is getting rich, getting paid lots of cars, luxury homes, and beautiful women because they've gone viral.

The word "viral" is actually a general term for those who have just become famous, and the term "rise to fame" means they're becoming more and more popular, leading to their recognition and increased search volume. Not all viral events are good and are expected by everyone. Viral news that becomes a disgrace and continues to be discussed by many people, even more devastatingly, goes viral. For example, recently, the head of the MBG (Free Nutritious Meals) program in our area was found guilty of corruption. The investigation revealed that this thief managed to embezzle one billion rupiah in one day from those funds. Isn't that viral at a time when the country is in decline, with increasing debt, the rupiah weakening, and people struggling desperately for survival? And yet, news like this goes viral, doesn't it anger the entire nation?

Furthermore, there's also a case of someone molesting a student at an Islamic boarding school, and the perpetrator is a kiai (leader of the boarding school). Upon investigation, it turns out he's a mafia member disguised as a religious teacher. I'm confused by the behavior of humans in the end times. So, the point is, not everything that goes viral is good. Because it goes viral, we're known for good and wise behavior, but conversely, it also makes us known as bastards and savages. So, maintain your good behavior and honesty.
