<b>"Crack the formula and you'll go viral."</b>
The "go viral" guru economy depends on selling repeatability. But virality is a heavy-tailed lottery — most accounts' big hits are statistical outliers they couldn't reproduce on command, and the gurus quietly know this.
The mechanism: distribution is multiplicative. A video needs a dozen small signals to all break right in the first test pool — a process with huge variance no formula controls.
What's true: you can't aim for viral, only raise your <i>base rate</i>. Make 100 solidly-above-average videos and your odds of one outlier compound. Volume times quality buys tickets; nothing buys the win.
