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

Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
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 → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: energetic
Mechanisms: Specificity
Written for: Growth and marketing teams

$GOOGL is a company that doesn’t do hype. For them to go and increase CapEx from $90B to $180B is probably the most bullish thing long-term investors can see as it shows the scale of future revenue growth. I am shocked that at this stage most still don’t understand this.

A little secret. About 5% of our production traffic is on the Pi harness, about another 5% is on OpenCode. Reminder you can use your ChatGPT account in a flourishing set of other tools. We’ll continue to make Codex awesome, but you have options.

woah first thing Jensen says on the call: “There’s been a lot of talk about the AI bubble, here’s what we are seeing at Nvidia.” completely addresses the bubble concerns head first and then proceeds to challenge the narrative by explaining Nvidia’s growth
