Every year on April 29, Viral Video Day is observed to gaze at the extent to which certain videos, primarily shorts, spread across the globe. Viewers have always been awestruck by viral videos, from those that make us laugh, weep, and get angry to those that inspire, motivate, and educate us. However, are you aware that the majority of viral videos had little opportunity of becoming so? Or that the majority of videos created with the intention of going viral are soon forgotten? Well, as shocking as that may be, it is a fact!
The earliest known Viral Video Day commemoration was on April 29, 2013. And even back then, the holiday was just as thrilling as it is today! Perhaps it’s because viral videos have always shook the climates in which they spread, to the point where everyone not only views them online but also discusses them offline. Viral videos have a significant impact on people. In March 2022, a video of a’supposed’ young Ukrainian girl confronting Russian soldiers went viral worldwide, eliciting a variety of responses. Later, it was disclosed that the video depicted a young Palestinian activist courageously confronting Israeli soldiers. Regardless, the entire globe praised the ‘Ukrainian’ girl.
Viral Video Day is not recognised by any government or organisation. It is a holiday created by a person who should not have had a say in the formulation of holidays, but because of her uniqueness, she did, and people — especially in the United States — rallied behind her to celebrate it. Jace Shoemaker-Galloway is a freelance writer who has penned so many articles on various holidays that she has begun to create her own. Viral Video Day is one of the many Shoemaker-Galloway-created holidays. Her popularity in the art of holiday embellishment made even her own holidays popular.
Every year for close to a decade, ubiquitous Video Day has been celebrated by rewatching and recounting the most ubiquitous videos of the past. A key indicator that April 29 is Viral Video Day is the reappearance of past viral videos on video streaming platforms such as Vimeo and YouTube. Some viral videos have become so ubiquitous over the years that the number of times they have been viewed exceeds the global population.
