Can a blog become only via Social Media?

I am not talking about getting traffic from search.

I am talking about popularity. Can sharing blog posts in social media make the blog popular? I am new to blogging so please be kind with your replies!!

The thing is you cannot make your blog posts popular via social media.

But although you can make your content popular via social media. I would suggest that diversify your content by publishing them in several platforms. Use videos of your content and post it in youtube. Share your content through reddit or quora.
Create a poll and put it in twitter.

Diversify your content delivery ways. That would be the common suggestion. Popularity, just through content its quite impossible.

What do you mean viral?

Textual content doesn't go viral unless they are from Wikileaks or such sort.
