old: Viral content

new: Viral demos

Everyone’s chasing viral content, but likes and views don’t pay the bills. Viral demos do. When the thing that spreads is your actual product in action, every view is a mini sales call you didn’t have to run.

From Eyeballs To Experiences

Viral content is entertainment. Viral demos are proof. Instead of posting vague “value” posts, show your product solving a real problem in real time. Screen recordings, live walkthroughs, before-and-after breakdowns—these turn passive scrollers into people thinking, “Wait, I could use this today.”

Why Viral Demos Hit Harder

  • They shorten the path from curiosity to “I get it”
  • They filter for people who actually need your product
  • They get shared inside teams and group chats, not just feeds
  • They generate both awareness and qualified demand at the same time

Real-World Viral Demo Plays

Figma logo

Figma grew faster by showing real-time multiplayer design demos that made designers immediately want to try it with their own teams.

Notion logo

Notion routinely ships viral demos of templates and workflows that make viewers think, “I could run my whole life out of this app.”

Loom logo

Loom spread through short screen-recorded demos that doubled as both product marketing and onboarding tutorials.

What I dislike more than AI Slop is what I call "AI Foam".

It's when generally smart, insightful people send you something that is clearly AI generated and lacks their usual sharp insight or point of view.

AI slop is easy to ignore because it's often just random people posting random stuff online -- often as content or comments.

AI foam is more insidious because these are people you *know* and respect and you know they're capable of critical thinking and clear communication.
