Viral disclosure is the process of conveying potential outcomes of "going viral" to enable informed 📝consent. This disclosure, often shared as a preface to a 📝Reddit submission, is most relevant to content of a personal nature—photos of an individual, their children, their property, etc—where the experience of going viral can be jarring. To be blunt, you can't unring a bell.
Reddit, a 📝Democratic Platform built around communities rather than individuals, is the 7th most popular website in the world—attracting 524 million monthly visitors as of March 2018. [1] Dubbed the 📝Front Page of the internet, successful content on Reddit is often appropriated by publications like Buzzfeed, Huffington Post, etc. Once this happens, you will have no control and little recourse.
My 📝Sassy Dachshund Puppy was viewed 1M times when it first went viral, but it's since become the fabric of the internet—being shared and stolen in every conceivable manner. To this day, friends will message me a few times a year alerting me to where it has been newly re-posted.
