Why it worked

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
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.
Opens on a negative, which reads as a warning and is harder to ignore than a claim.

The mechanics

Hook: Leads with a number
Structure: Hook
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
