I don’t have a problem with Apple retaining the Magic Mouse charge port on the bottom. I have an issue with them persistently shipping a product they so clearly do not care about, solely because they’re too cheap to include the (actually useful) Magic Trackpad.

Viral score

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

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.
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.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Mechanisms: Pattern interrupt
Written for: Product teams
