There is an assumption that everyone wants fame and people posting videos always want them to reach as many people as possible. Maybe that’s not so? Becoming a meme isn’t always fun, and many people aren’t aware of the consequences.

If it looks like something is going viral in a negative way and the system automatically limits the spread, that seems pretty thoughtful, if it’s done right. It makes social media safer and hopefully more predictable than what we have now.

I think the poster should be made aware of this and override it if they choose, though.

Actually, maybe all viral posts should be limited in this way until you opt in to viral spread.
