General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Prefer main hook. Honestly, the article is so much more interesting, but I can't think of a better, just writing it's a viral video may be the best. GRuban (talk) 15:05, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Comment GRuban If you can think of a better hook email me so that I can propose it. And we can avoid the problem of getting another reviewer. I agree, the article is far better and more interesting than the hook suggests. Thanks for the review and insight. 7&6=thirteen () 15:27, 24 April 2020 (UTC)
