"This is what I call goals": an older couple dances, and viewers question the ages
The comment section filled about seven times faster than usual, much of it busy deciding whether the dancing pair could really be in their eighties.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 1,554,356 views a day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (124,322).

Two million views in a little over a day is not what a typical Short does on Videos that make your day better, a clips channel that re-edits other people's footage "for positive vibes only," in the words of its own about page. "This is what I call goals ❤️" passed its first million and then doubled it.
The title and description say only those five words. The comments fill in the rest: an older couple dancing together, with the woman's moves drawing most of the attention. Several viewers think she must have been a dancer when she was younger. Others say they would settle for moving like that at any age, never mind the romance.
The most liked replies, though, are about the numbers attached to the couple. The clip appears to present them as being in their eighties, and a large part of the audience is not convinced, guessing a decade or more younger. A smaller group wonders whether the footage is real at all. One viewer jokes about needing a long nap afterward, on the couple's behalf.
That back-and-forth made for an unusually busy comment section. Likes came in at an even sharper rate than views, more than twenty times the channel's usual first day for a Short.
It was not the channel's only quick start. "This would genuinely ruin my day," posted the same day, moved several times past its usual pace too, though the dancers drew the far bigger crowd.

My Aunt turns 83 this year and she said she only now starting to feel her age. I told her she's lucky because I started feeling 83 in my mid 30s.
