viral post
Widely shared update
A viral post is online content that spreads rapidly through social media, reaching massive audiences through shares, reposts, and engagement.
The metaphor borrows from how viruses replicate—each person who shares it exposes new potential hosts: Her tweet about the airline went viral overnight.
Going viral is often accidental, though brands and creators actively chase it.
