Over my many years scouring the internet I've had countless varieties of sites. One element that has seemed to play in each is a pyramid style structure. This blog is one such device.There's always the person who brought you here who you look up at and think 'Someday that could be me!'. However that is rarely the case as success isn't usually easily imitated with the same response.
When it comes down to it going 'viral' is exactly the same as the aim in any pyramid scheme. You can simply sell them your products(subscribe/view) or join your effort(referrals, references). Similarly it also boils down to your original real life networks to adopt and propel you forward, hoping to find chains of people with sharing interests.
It's weird to think as huge an entity as the internet shares such a risky conotation.

The missing step is underpants theft.
The thing that you're missing out on here is that all structures in life are due to some sort of hierarchy that can be viewed in a single channel a a funnel/pyramid. this is because a funnel is generally a single segment of a circle or sphere, and as the central point to your own life, all things radiate in a --roughly-- spherical pattern... Admittedly there will be some rather spikey outliers.
But this is why pyramid schemes are so successful. People are naturally drawn to believe in a structure that is fundamentally inherent in their own lives, even though, from a financial perspective, a pyramid scheme cannot work because an economy is not a natural network but merely a coalescing of debt obligations and promissory notes.
Wow that was perhaps one of the smartest sounding comments I have ever received...even with the underpants...
I dunno, I think this comment will sound pretty smart...
Is that a 4chan meme in the picture?
I don't know about the smartest...but you certainly win on the ego part and that's pretty special since you beat someone with ego in their name.
Nuut yes I do believe the meme started with 4chan
