I agree with this person about one thing: "A secure digital ecosystem begins with secure devices" Secure devices mean you don't force malware on to user devices or create a single point of failure, or a honeypot of data. But that doesn't fit his narrative.

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

Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Turn shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.
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 → Context → Turn
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal, punchy
Mechanisms: Pattern interrupt
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators
