There are folks in my replies saying that Google Trends proves it was already going viral before it was shared on Twitter/X. I marked below when it was tweeted. Yes, there was some interest — I never said there wasn't — but it was plateauing. After the tweet the interest doubled.

Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Written for: Growth and marketing teams

I think China's second DeepSeek moment is here. This AI agent called 'Manus' is going crazy viral in China right now. Probably only a matter of time until it hits the US. It's like Deep Research + Operator + Claude Computer combined, and it's REALLY good.

It's important to me that this Labour goverment improves your life and your community in ways you actually notice. Al has enormous potential to do that. While the Tories stifled growth and innovation, my government will use Al to turbocharge our Plan for Change.

not only can you make accounts for free even though they charge 20USD for skipping the waitlist (!!!) by just registering directly on firebase, they leak emails in the user profile response LMFAO this is truly the greatest vibecoded slop that has hit the mainstream yet

More than 1 million people downloaded Codex App in the first week. 60+% growth in overall Codex user last week! We'll keep Codex available to Free/Go users after this promotion; we may have to reduce limits there but we want everyone to be able to try Codex and start building.

It's not my data. The source is Cluvio, which is linked to in the article. I'd link to it in this tweet, but ironically, that would kill engagement. And I know that traffic is hard to count. Especially for a private company. But if you have more accurate data, then publish it.

I guess I just didn't fully grasp how many losers there are in the world. Like I knew there were a lot of losers out there, but the amount of losers that would have to exist to, one, make this product feasible and, two, to make this ad's existence possible is hard to process.

If you're looking for a concise explanation as to how that AI-generated "All Eyes On Rafah" image went so viral, basically, it was abstract enough to bypass censors and filters on Instagram, one of the last remaining social networks real people still use. t.co
