Why this one
Charlie the Unicorn was the 'send this to everyone you know' video of 2006–2007, a cultural moment so pervasive that its dialogue became its own dialect online. FilmCow uploaded it before YouTube had recommendations, before the algorithm had an opinion about anything — every one of its 46 million views is a human decision. For a video that felt like a generational experience, 46 million turns out to be a surprisingly mortal number.
