Being viral, for content, is not always bad: it can make an otherwise boring or tedious subject engaging and enjoyable (and on the other side, a fun subject might appear boring if badly written), which I think is what this article is about :-).

The title "I've acquired a new superpower" might have the most virality, but it's not a great title for users. Chasing viral content doesn't have to be bad, but you do often get this imbalance between clicks vs UX.

I thought superpower was fitting when I read it, back when the referenced post was originally posted. I was already familiar with optical illusions that you cross your eyes to see some kind of shape emerge in 2.5D

But I had never heard of using that same trick to solve puzzles where you find how two pictures differ. And I tried it out and it worked for me.

It took something I had limited application for and turned it into a slightly less limited power. And a great party trick. That’s sort of a superpower :D

I don't mind a "viral" title for a good article (not those kind of "You won't believe what this woman did to..." or other clearly clickbait titles), but of course, you don't know before clicking if it's a good article, or a clickbait one, indeed.

In this case though, it's a dude posting on his own blog. I'm fine with whatever title he found cool.
