Things that went viral on the internet
The title is a bit ambiguous since everything on this list went viral on the internet, but here are some odd bots that we couldn’t fit in the categories yet. Like Ellen DeGeneres’ Oscar selfie saturated with celebrities in 2014, it became the selfies of selfies and was the most retweeted selfie ever!
Mukbang was another internet phenomenon that went viral, originating from South Korean in 2010, where broadcasters stream themselves eating large amounts of food live and entertain their audience while doing so.
Eventually, that lead to other viral trends such as ASMR videos in 2015 where broadcasters produce sounds that are meant to soothe you, such as cooking or the sound of bubbles popping.
Something more recent would be when the Storm Area 51 event on facebook went viral and people actually showed up. Now, we are moving onto the new decade with Baby Yoda taking over the internet!
