I finally looked into why that 'crying CEO' video blew up last November
It wasn't just the emotion, it was the perfect storm of a slow news week and a specific LinkedIn algorithm tweak that pushed professional content harder. The follow-up posts where he tried to explain himself just fed the cycle for days. Anyone else track a viral moment that was mostly about timing?

Yeah, the part about the follow-up posts feeding the cycle really hits home. It's like once that train leaves the station, you can't stop it no matter how much you explain. I felt bad for the guy, getting ripped apart for showing a real feeling. The internet just decides some weeks, and you're along for the ride whether you want to be or not.
