    Funny enough, the history of this meme was a show where they made commercials that were supposed to go viral for non-interner savvy businesses.

    They interviewed the guy after, turns out Internet vitality didn’t actually result in any new business.

      That doesn’t surprise me; I think the overlap between internet memesters and people who live in his area and are wanting taxidermy done is probably very small. Ad virality is probably only too valuable if it’s a product people can buy “as a joke” and post Tiktoks (or vines, I guess, at that point) of themselves showing off for laughs.
