This is a YouTube video titled "This is how most influencers go viral đź‘€" containing a discussion between two speakers about strategies for growing a large social media following, specifically focusing on recreating viral content to leverage platform algorithms. The content was created in August 2025.
For somebody who's looking to grow a large social media following, like in the hundreds of thousands or millions, what is your advice? To truly set yourself apart and build and grow at a large pace, like, for instance, myself.
Something that people are scared to do that everyone that is going viral is doing and I think everyone should do is recreating other people's content that has already gone viral. So a lot of people that are growing and getting really big numbers is because they're seeing a trend on their for you page or their Explore feed that has already gone viral and they're recreating it. And Instagram has a way of knowing that the algorithm has already picked up on content like that. Users like it, so they know they're gonna have more retention on the app. Therefore, if they feel like that matches up using their AI, machine learning, you know, similar trending audio, the similar things that they're saying, then they push that out and it goes viral.
