How it spread

Trace the origin

A contest interface uploaded and titled Morris’s entry, which she shared with Facebook friends. Reddit users traded captions, GIFs and cover images while linking back to the video. A stereotype debate and an innocent-explanation variant offered further adaptations.

Documented milestone; not a measured attention peak.
