If you’re going to correct that headline, you should also fix this one, which is an even bigger fraud. (And yes, calling NATO the North American Treaty Organization was not a mistake but a deliberate fraud, designed to “get Trump,” just like Russiagate.)

Why it worked

Addresses the reader directly, so it reads as written for them.
Admits a failure or a cost, which buys trust that a polished post cannot.
Frames the idea around what the reader stands to lose, which is more motivating than gain.
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: Speaks directly to you
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: plain, matter-of-fact
Mechanisms: Vulnerability, Loss aversion
Written for: Founders, marketers and operators
