What are the indicators of a viral video?

I already know that you have to hook the audience on the first 1-3 secs, but is that really it?

I love when people upvote a question instead of answering it

Got a 250k view video a few days ago and it wasn’t on one day, it grew over the course of a week. It starts with the usual 200 views, a bit of engagement and then went to 500 then 800 then 2k, with a short break in between each as tiktok evaluates watch time and engagement etc then at this point I knew something was up as I hadn’t cleared 1k before and then every since it’s just been consistently growing. But that’s how it was just after posting. Hope that helps
