Relays aren't truly redundant, but their data sets overlap, can be copied or mirrored, and the individual elements can be transported, discovered, and dispersed.

This means that we can store all of the world's data on one system without having to store it in one place or create n number of dataset clones that need to be constantly compared to one another. Related events will be stored nearer together on a relay, but also copied and stored in proximity to disparate events, that they are also related to.

Elements that are related to more things, or that seem more important to more npubs, will naturally have more copies. We can allow the data sets to evolve, just like genes and memes do.

This is data storage that mirrors the information and communication architecture of humans.

Just go with it.

That is why, to "go viral" here doesn't mean a lot of people have seen it. It means a lot of relays have stored it because a lot of people have purposefully interacted with it.

That is a much higher hurdle and it naturally makes that element more resilient to censorship.

also a lot people see a sensitive post or note does not like reply or react for many reason so actually it is viewed by much more than reactions and spread across much more relays

Making this measure of interaction work would require clients to automatically rebroadcast notes on view. Not just scrolling by in a feed, but if I click on a post, my client should rebroadcast it to my relays, even if I don't like or comment or zap. Then other clients can measure the "viralness" of a post by counting how many relays have that post.

Yeah, I think that measures "wants more information".
