Viral score

Based on absolute engagement — the platform doesn’t expose follower counts here, so large accounts score higher.

From likes, comments.

Why it worked

Uses short lines and white space, which makes a long post feel quick to read.
Follows a clear Hook → List → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Quotes someone directly, which makes the moment concrete rather than summarised.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → List → Landing
Style: Short lines with heavy white space, built to be scanned.
Tone: personal, punchy
Written for: Hiring managers and founders
