The price you pay for being viral

I aspire to be viral. I think every single human secretly don’t mind being viral either. 

There are restaurants and other companies who went viral and they loved it. But some of them caught lawsuits after going viral. 

This is why we should not look at being viral as always being a positive experience. There are times things can go bad to worse after going viral. It is not even a rare situation unfortunately.

You can go from an unknown who pulls in $40k a year to a viral influencer/business that gets $400k a year. Life can throw more hurdles your way now that you are making more money. Let’s say you make $40k after taxes but with no lawsuits. If you now make $400k after taxes but suddenly you get hit with $350k in lawsuits and you lose all your cases. Now which do you consider a better life to have at this point.

Do you still aim to be viral? Do you have lawyers ready for the what ifs? Do you now reconsider the price you pay for going viral? Is it worth it?
