Look at the positive side … Bite-sized content designed for endless scrolling, ranging from comedy sketches to cute petssmiley42

But but but … on the flip side …. Experiencing a massive spike in views sets an incredibly high bar for future performance. The sudden drop in numbers post-virality often leads to creator discouragement and burnout.smiley18

Yes, there are positive aspects too. But here, we're talking about recording people without their consent, especially during funeral rituals and other deeply personal moments. That's where the concern lies, not with videos themselves, but with the lack of permission and respect.

My mind went to that if viral video of that girl who was shooting a video in a public place and passerby crossed. She had said dude has no civic sense. right now my algorithm is tons of Indians lecturing about civic sense. Recently a guy in Goa committed suicide because internet trolled him about throwing garbage where there was already a pile of garbage.

This is a thought-provoking topic. Social media can help people connect, but chasing viral moments should never come at the expense of empathy, privacy, or human dignity.

Yes, what you pointed out is absolutely true. A single viral incident can trigger massive public judgment, online shaming, and even severe real-life consequences. Social media often encourages people to pass quick moral judgments without considering the full context or the impact on the person involved. Viral videos don't just entertain, they shape online narratives, fuel endless public criticism, and sometimes lead to disproportionate consequences for the people involved.
