1) I have no idea how you define viral. If you mean boosted by Medium--NO. See Medium's boost guidelines and take from this what you will. https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006362473

2) If you mean will it trend and get more views than you are used to, who the fuck knows--there are no parameters from which I can vote

3) Do I think this will trend or go viral externally, NO. It could, but I highly doubt it. As do you--you just wanted the engagement.

4) What is your threshold for viral? I had one story that got about 13,000 external views in one month before dying and that's because the google algorithm thought it was actually about poker. https://medium.com/illumination/heres-a-life-lesson-i-learned-from-playing-online-poker-413488215ddf

5) I have one story that has trended consistently externally. 7200 external views at a fairly consistent average of 240 per month for 2 and a half years. Neither trending nor viral in my view as not exponential. The poker story was viral before it was innoculated against. I think it gets a lot of google hits because it is about spiritual awakening and must conatin all the hot button phrases: https://medium.com/illumination-curated/100s-of-stories-about-spiritual-awakening-no-one-seems-to-discuss-the-difficult-and-crucial-e896617b5082
