The Algo Effect Virality on social networks is not a random phenomenon, but the result of a complex interaction between algorithmic logic and social practices This study introduces a quantitative framework for analyzing virality on social networks, distinguishing two key forces: linear growth (driven by initial organic exposure) and residual growth (nonlinear algorithmic amplification). Using S-curve logistic…
