I am not sure exactly what form the resource I am looking for may take (I am believing more and more than I am jargon-gated in my search endeavors), but I am looking for something that tracks viral phenomena over time and that maybe also rates their virality levels.
As an example, such a resource might be a timeline of News stories along with their corresponding “attention index” and for how long / how much the public attended to them.
I am not looking for something that, for example, is an ordered list of a social media platform’s top posts, but rather for something that is a collection of stories / narratives (across social media platforms) experienced by the West or wider humanity. I imagine that such a resource would likely list Monkeypox / Mpox as having fallen out of the public’s attention for the most part, and would likely also have Ongoing Conflict in Ukraine as still “in the News” but with a lower “attention index” now than in the past.
My apologies if there is some standard resource people go to for these things, but I have not been able to find one. Also, thank you for taking the time to read this.
