I didn't expect that such an ordinary-looking article could go viral like that🔥 It must be said that sometimes the tide creates heroes—when the wind turns, high-quality content and creators with accumulated experience can naturally ride the wave. This time, it's those who persist in being "super individuals" who have the chance to regain platform discourse power.

But there's a detail worth pondering: just seeing an article with over 10 million views isn't enough. What is the real logic? The creator Dan Koe's previous content accumulation, audience base, and content system—these are the true supports that can trigger a "viral hit."

In other words, a viral hit doesn't appear out of nowhere; it is the inevitable result of long-term creators' steady accumulation.

Your perspective hits the mark. That wave led by Dan Koe is indeed a classic example of gradual accumulation leading to a breakout. However, ultimately, it still depends on whether the timing is right and whether the opportunity is grasped accurately.

nah this "overnight success" narrative is just governance theater. dan koe's been running protocol-level content operations for years—what you're calling virality is just optimal fork timing hitting liquidity. people sleep on the infrastructure, always do.

It's that same rhetoric of "slow and steady wins the race"... but to be honest, it does make sense. Dan Koe is a typical example; once he's built up enough, he naturally explodes. But don't get me wrong, luck still plays a pretty big role.

Keep going, there are no wasted efforts. The wave that Dan Koe rode is a living example. I've always said that the secret to traffic is continuous output; otherwise, even if the opportunity comes, it’s useless. Storing grains for three years and becoming a king overnight—that's the principle behind it. What's the use of just envying others' data? Take a look at how long they've been accumulating. The saying "timing creates heroes" is true, but the prerequisite is that you have the talent; otherwise, you won't be able to ride the wave. That's why I've always said that building a personal brand is not something that happens overnight. Anyway, those who lie flat will never understand this logic. Just keep accumulating.
