Opens a question in the reader’s mind and withholds the answer until later.
Uses short lines and white space, which makes a long post feel quick to read.
Follows a clear Hook → Payoff → List → List → List shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
