This is amazing news. A great addition to this would be localizing ads so small local businesses can promote to customers in their nearby area. Yes, that requires data collection, but can’t really stop that at this point, & may be biz necessity to save free speech.

Why it worked

Opens with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
Gives away something genuinely useful before asking for anything.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.
