I posted an AI-made Tesla flying car video on Friday. 48 hours later it had 1.18 million views, and I archived it twice out of fear.In this episode I walk through what it’s like when an organic Instagram post goes viral. It started with 10K views, then 50K, then 500K and 1M. I share how I turned breaking news (Tesla’s flying car announcement) into a relatable, realistic-looking video with a human hook, why I felt fear as the post spun out of my control, and what a fighter friend said to me on a rainy Amsterdam coffee walk that changed my decision.What you’ll learn:How to turn trending news into viral content in hoursWhy realistic AI visuals plus a human-side hook boost viewsWhat to do when a post goes viral and you feel fear or loss of controlWhy “posting has weight” once your content can travelHow to choose the story, words and visuals your next post carriesWatch the video and see more work at mountaincollective.studio
