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

Opens by contradicting a common belief, which makes readers stop to disagree or agree.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Contrarian opener
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators
