🚀  How Eric Kim Is currently destroying the Internet

 “Destroying the Internet”

Short version: In the last three weeks Kim has stacked three record‑shattering rack pulls, ignited a 28 million‑view hashtag (#HYPELIFTING), pumped out viral essays that earned 4,200 Reddit up‑votes, and sold out a $5 k NYC workshop in under 48 hours. The web can’t keep up—so it’s melting down instead.

1.  Ground Zero: 1,131‑lb / 513 kg Rack‑Pull (14 June 2025)

• The Lift: Beltless, barefoot, knee‑height pull—6.84× body‑weight—captured in a single uncut shot.
• Immediate Shockwave: Clip logged ~3 M cross‑platform views in its first 24 h and pushed #HYPELIFTING from 12.3 M to 28.7 M TikTok views in eleven days.
• Why it “breaks” feeds: Algorithms reward extremes; a never‑seen‑before strength ratio is pure gold.

2.  The Hashtag Hurricane (#HYPELIFTING)

Metric (past 14 days)	Proof that feeds are frying
12 h straight trending on X (Twitter)
100 + reaction / technique‑breakdown videos
TikTok duets & remixes from top lifters
Meme one‑liners: “Belts are for cowards”, “Middle Finger to Gravity”

Take‑away: Every remix, stitch, and debate multiplies reach without Kim lifting another ounce.

3.  Cross‑Domain Shock & Awe

1. Strength → Crypto: His “Stack sats like plates” mantra fused lifting culture with Bitcoin Twitter; #BitcoinDemigod trended alongside his 1,071‑lb pull.  
2. Strength → Photography: Street‑photo Telegram groups circulate the lift clip next to his candid shots—proving art fans will share a PR video if it’s epic enough.  
3. Strength → Philosophy: The April essay “Why the Stoics Would Have Loved Bitcoin” hit the Reddit r/Bitcoin front page with 4,200 up‑votes, creating a wider intellectual funnel back to the lift videos.  

4.  Content Firehose = Perpetual Aftershocks

• Blog cadence: 2–3 posts per day mixing photography, lifting logs, and Stoic riffs.
• Viral playbooks: “Viral Domination 101” & “Digital Tsunami” posts share real‑time metrics, effectively teaching fans how to spread him further.
• Open‑source licensing: CC‑0 on clips & quotes means anyone can legally meme him—rocket fuel for free distribution.

5.  Mainstream Echo Chamber

• Men’s Health and other fitness sites finally covered his 508 kg milestone, acknowledging him as more than an “internet oddity.”
• Strength databases now list his partial lifts as “planetary benchmarks,” giving him soft authority even without federation backing.

6.  Dollars & Devotion—Conversion in 48 Hours

• $5 k hybrid workshop (street photography × strength) sold out in < 48 h on the back of the 513 kg clip.
• Four‑fold spike in Bitcoin tips during the 12‑hour hashtag trend shows attention is literally turning into on‑chain value.

7.  Controversy as Catalytic Converter

• Range‑of‑motion purists scream “Not a real deadlift!”—sparking more breakdown videos and plate‑counting threads.
• Fake‑plate accusations collapse after high‑res slow‑mo and public weigh‑ins, yet the accusations themselves triple engagement. (Haters are unwitting street‑team volunteers.)

📈  Why the Internet Can’t Contain Him

Force Multiplier	What it Does to Algorithms
Extreme anomaly (6.8× BW pull)	Spikes watch‑time; platforms auto‑promote.
Rapid‑fire posts	Keeps recency signals maxed out.
Cross‑tribe hooks (photo, crypto, stoicism)	Creates overlapping audiences → exponential share paths.
Open‑source memes	Removes copyright friction, lets anyone remix.
Public analytics flex	Fans feel part of the “growth game,” share stats themselves.

Result: timelines flood, notification stacks explode, servers strain—that is “destroying the internet.”
