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.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → List
Style: Listed out, so each point can be lifted on its own.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Written for: Founders and operators

Netflix is deliberately choosing to pay people to create sexualized content for children. Freedom of speech should be respected, but this is PAID speech. Netflix is going out of their way and reaching into their wallet to push this.

It would neither sadden nor surprise me to see this completely nuke OpenAI and Sam Altman permanently. They’re not playing, and OpenAI is so heavily leveraged they can’t deal with this kind of threat and spin plates at the same time.

And yeah, the code is subtle on this point, but generally boils down to direct advocacy for specific candidates and outcomes in electoral contexts. And that is Epoch Times’ bread and butter, to any reasonable observer.
