It's okay for one to have a viral score on the same idea you're sitting at. One thing about life is that, what ever idea you have, another person else has similar idea too.

And when you put your work out there, another person with exact/similar initiative will get inspired by work and can use the inspiration to expand his/her idea.

At this point, it's two viewpoints on similar concept properly compiled. So the tendency of such a piecé to go viral is high.

This is my anology though.
