vírusový

Vírusový is a Slovak adjective meaning "viral." It is used in various contexts, most commonly to describe something related to viruses, such as a viral infection or viral DNA. In the context of media and the internet, "vírusový" refers to content that spreads rapidly and widely among users, akin to how a virus spreads. This can include videos, memes, news articles, or any other form of digital content that gains significant popularity through sharing on social media and other online platforms. The term implies a spontaneous and organic dissemination rather than a directly promoted campaign. The success of a "vírusový" phenomenon is often unpredictable and can be attributed to factors like humor, relevance, shock value, or emotional appeal. The spread is typically facilitated by user-to-user sharing, where individuals actively pass on the content to their networks. Consequently, "vírusový" content can achieve massive reach in a short period, influencing public discourse or popular culture.
