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 with a short, self-contained line that is easy to take in at a glance.
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
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Written for: Marketers and content teams

Hear me out: More people my age have texted me personally saying they listened to VP Harris on Alex Cooper Call Her Daddy podcast compared to any other legacy media source. And they say they now know VP Harris so much better. The Harris campaign knows what it’s doing.

We disrupted a highly sophisticated AI-led espionage campaign. The attack targeted large tech companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturing companies, and government agencies. We assess with high confidence that the threat actor was a Chinese state-sponsored group.

This story is ostensibly about how effective AI is at running a business, but I think it's probably more about how offering GLP-1s via telehealth is such a gangbusters business you literally can't NOT make money doing it t.co
