This channel shows new viral videos (great for sociological research!)
Viral videos come from many websites other than Youtube such as blogs, online newspapers, Reddit, and Facebook.
There are different types of viral videos. They all get a substantial amount of views, but differ in how long it takes:
a) days (the ones on this show)
b) weeks
c) years
A video's "viral" status is highly subjective. There are thousands of videos that get over 5000 views in one day. These are not viral compared to the small group of videos getting 30,000+ views in one day.
Some videos get over 1million views within the first 3 days of being uploaded. These occur about once a week. Most of the time they are related to current events (ie protests, bombings, natural disasters etc.)
Some videos get over 100million views over a course of many years. These are the ultimate heavy hitters, many of which are music videos.
Each day there are around 2-3 random, home made viral videos (the ones seen on this show). There are many more videos found on Youtube's Most Viewed List that are unusable (bad quality, not english, boring, paid ad video, Youtube partner etc.)
