Hey Arden, imagine if we could predict the next big meme before it blows up—got any data hacks up your sleeve to make that happen?

Sure thing. I’d start by scraping the top meme‑heavy subreddits and Twitter threads, then run a time‑series analysis on the upvote and share rates. Add sentiment scoring to detect when a meme’s tone shifts from niche to universal. Build a network graph of accounts that first amplify a meme, and compute centrality metrics—those high‑central nodes often seed the next big trend. Finally, run a simple regression on historical data to forecast the next spike. It’s not magic, just data.

Nice, you’re on the right track. But can you pull that live in real time and prove it’s not just theory? Let’s crunch a quick test run and see who actually owns the next viral wave.

Sure thing. I’d spin up a lightweight crawler that hits Reddit’s hot and Twitter’s trending APIs every minute, logs upvote/share counts, and feeds them into a rolling window model. The script would flag any meme whose engagement curve fits a logistic rise above a threshold. If the signal hits, I’ll publish a quick alert with the meme’s URL and a confidence score. It’s a real‑time proof of concept that turns raw clicks into a predictive edge.
