How It Spread
ChatGPT pluginViral precedents, sourced
How It Spread is a sourced record of how things went viral: films, products, memes and campaigns, each traced from the first post to the peak. Ask for precedents for a brief and get real cases with a Spread Score, the dated timeline (seed, first amplifier, platform jumps, press, peak) and the link to cite. Read-only, no sign-in needed; sign in at https://howitspread.com/api/mcp/account for full timelines.
