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.
Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Plain observation
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: punchy
Mechanisms: Pattern interrupt
Written for: People building with AI
