10k views? 100k? One million or more? What do you PERSONALLY consider “going viral” for your own videos?
The most views I ever got on a single video was 200k over the course of about a week. Given the amount of views and compressed timeframe, I call it “semi-viral” just so I don’t get any guff from people with other ideas haha.
I’m curious what your threshold for viral is/would be on your respective channels.

My version of viral is 1 million views. Anything else is just random luck IMO
I think 1m is a good "industry standard" number, yeah. Still pretty happy with my 200k in a week though haha
yeah I’d say 1 million views in a short space of time, never got anywhere near that yet tho lol
I think my second-place video under that 200k, only counting long-form, is around 2,500.
Tbf, it can be anything that is majorly above what you are usually used to !
So if you are used to a few hundred and you hit 10k on a video, that is technically viral, but we are kind of programmed to believe it needs to be in the Millions to be Viral, which it kind of is too ! lol but its not the only version of Viral.
I have had a number of videos do thousands, a few do 10's of thousands and very few do Hundreds of thousands, each time I get a larger number than usual I take it as a win ! lol
