Why this one

Saturday Night Live's channel has 17 million subscribers, and individual episode clips regularly clear 500K to 2 million. Jack Black hosting the Season 51 finale and performing his own King Kong song — the musical bit he perfected over decades at Tenacious D shows — drew 70,000 views. The mechanism is SNL's content fragmentation: a single episode generates sixty to eighty separate uploads. Each clip competes with every other clip for the same subscriber base, and the subscriber base is not interested in sixty clips — they are interested in the three they already watched on social media before the upload even happened. Jack Black's bit was a physical comedy moment, which means the clip that went viral did so as a silent looped GIF on every platform except YouTube.
