Case study reddit
Reddit is an international online community where content rises or falls based on a communal voting system. The key to viral success on Reddit is timing posts appropriately, ensuring relevance to the target community, and allowing the "content cycle" to spread the post more widely through social media and third-party sites. A case study of one of the author's memes showed how, without reposting his own content, it was shared and viewed over 1.3 million times as it organically spread through the Reddit community and beyond. Timing, relevance, engagement with the community, and some luck are necessary for posts to enter the content cycle and potentially become viral memes.
