Does the thought of going “viral” sound exciting – or does it make you recoil? It turns out that fewer than 1 in 5 American adults would like to become viral on social media or famous on the news for a short time, according to a recent YouGov survey. The results indicate that men (22%) would be significantly more apt than women (15%) to welcome the attention.
Somewhat predictably, there’s a strong age skew in the findings, too.
