Why Do Weird Videos Go Viral So Fast

Think about the way most people view social media...they flip past whatever is in whatever feed they're looking at within seconds. Setting up a premise, getting into anything even slightly deep or complicated...that doesn't give you a lot of time to gain attention. Also, a lot of social feeds don't automatically turn on the sound for videos unless you ask for it, so if you're talking at a camera, that's....not going to get your attention in a casual view.

People from all over the world can understand a watermelon being dropped on something. It's quick, it's universal, it's funny (somewhat), and it doesn't require the sound to be on. So weird, visual things are going to gain a lot of quick views because people can watch them easily without having to pay too much attention, I think.
