HOW LANGUAGE HAS BECOME THE NEW METRIC OF VIRALITY

Summary from the TLDR Marketing newsletter

Virality is increasingly shaped by how language evolves through algorithmic exposure.

Expressions tied to identity, humor, or community affiliation gain traction based on metadata and usage frequency. These shifts influence how audiences communicate, interpret meaning, and assign cultural relevance to content.
