My brother in law called me out on my viral landscaping video

I had a TikTok hit 2 million views last year showing me trimming a hedge with a chainsaw. Looked super cool and people loved it. My brother in law who runs a tree service sat me down last month and was like "you know that video taught people the wrong way to do it right?" He showed me how I was putting myself at risk and damaging the hedge at the same time. It hit different because I realized all those likes and shares just spread bad info that could get someone hurt. Has anyone else had a viral moment that turned out to be kind of embarrassing when you look back?

At least your viral moment didn’t involve a trampoline and a leaf blower.

Honestly that sounds like a whole new level of chaos waiting to happen.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was a trampoline and a shop vac, not a leaf blower. I remember seeing the video and thinking, that's a whole different kind of trouble.
