• That means that the viewers do all the work for you. They watch the video, think it's cool/funny/informative/awesome, then begin to share it with their friends. In turn their friends find it one of those things and share it with more friends. In the end the video starts racking up millions of views. In other words it spreads like a viral infection from person to person until everyone is immune (isn't interested in the video let's say) or has been infected (watched the video, perhaps more than once).
