A friend posted a funny video on Facebook a few days ago, and when I liked it there were 70 likes.
Less than 24 hours later, it was up to 200k.
Well, now it's 1.6+ million in 48 hours. He has hundreds of facebook friend requests and is regretting posting the video.

No. And I would not like it if any friends of mine shared what I posted on FB. And they better not post I died before my family finds out.

Yeah, my cousin, several times. She's a Youtuber. I won't post names though since her videos are very controversial and I don't necessarily agree with her opinion.

The closest I've seen is a friend who contributed to a blog and she was excited people pinned her project on pinterest. I get weird friend requests all the time because of my common name. I can't imagine how bad that would be if something went viral!

Did anyone see the viral photo/story on Facebook of the woman right after Christmas that fell while use a hover board? The pictures were quite graphic and showed the skin on her skull being pulled apart and stapled. She's a parent of kids in my school and I have her kid this year.

My good friend Becca and her husband posted the video of their dog "passing out" after seeing her for the first time in two years. This video went viral maybe a year or two ago.I didn't think it was a big deal,but they were on TV shows all over the world.

It's the friend requests... There's no way to mass delete them. He does regret not posting it on youtube and monetizing it. He's hoping for an Ellen tv show spot (tongue in cheek.)

I posted a dumb joke about drugs the other day and it's being shared like crazy in our county. Not world famous but it's been shared over 1100 times. The notifications are driving me batty.

Yea a friend went viral for posting a video of her son crying after being read a book. She would say "the end" and he would cry. It was cute at first but then strangers started diagnosing him with all kinds of things because "he didn't like transitioning." It was disturbing. Luckily it calmed down about as fast as it blew up.

A friend's husband lost over 150 pounds while their son was away on an LDS mission. They were on the local news when Dad surprised the son when he came home. The video was really sweet and fun and went viral. It was used all over the place by weightloss blogs and websites.

No - we are all pretty boring. Nothing exciting enough to go viral happens in my circle of people. One of my pictures made the "explore" page of Flickr.com. It's their best photos of the day page - I got 11,000 likes which is a big deal to me.

Well, I thought a video dd was in went viral. I guess it was only quasi-viral with 100K views over a few days. It petered out pretty quickly. We didn't even know about it until a few days later when a friend of dd's happened to see it mentioned in Elle Magazine online. Apparently, it was viral within a subgroup of the classical musical world- probably mainly fans of this quartet. They seem to rehearse at this station regularly. We only happened by because dd was performing in NYC that weekend and we had been staying in a hotel to make life a little easier for her that weekend. When you hear the cheering, it is because the young men started dancing on the side. DD and I stood for a while, enjoying the music. She then decided to throw caution to the wind and join them, dancing in front of the young man who was recording it.. we had no idea of that until her friend sent the Elle mention with a "is this you?" LOL Subway video

My son knows a guy that has a video with about 2 million views on his original Youtube video. It's been copied by other people and at least one of those has over a million views.
My son was here when it came up on my Facebook and was all excited because 'Hey, that's Thor!'

That is a really cute video that your friend posted. I thought it was funny. But I would never think to want to friend him. That's just strange to me.
