Imagine if you worked at a bakery, randomly generating a variety of sweets. Each week, one flavor completely sells out but the customers' favorite doesn't last long. It's unpredictable what they'll like and the rest just barely attracts attention. However, if you look closely, there are a few trends that satisfy that sweet tooth.
We discussed in class how certain videos go viral- and it's completely random!
There is usually some sense of originality and creativity, and it tends to become viral faster if shared by a trend setter.
Having a celebrity, or anyone with a large following, promote a video, app, meme or trend will instigate the spark and can make a video go viral world wide. But it's not that easy to get people to notice you- especially because at least over 2 days worth of recordings are posted every hour. There's too much to keep up!
It would be exhausting for a chef to try to compete in the digital world. With cooking all it takes is patience and you usually get results! But with social media, you could go unnoticed forever- like the plain sugar cookie in a variety basket of more adventurous flavors.
