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

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Leads with a number
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Mechanisms: Specificity
Written for: Founders and operators

ANTHROPIC VALUATION: $965B WALMART VALUATION: $940B ANTHROPIC REVENUE: $20B WALMART REVENUE: $725B BUT AI IS NOT A BUBBLE, RIGHT?
