"Nearly 30 percent of American adults cannot paraphrase or make inferences from a multipage text." I share @DKThomp's horror. It's the primary reason we created @Storyaliz. We're determined to make a difference but it's an uphill battle. Even free users just don't read. At all.

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.
Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
Gives away something genuinely useful before asking for anything.
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.
Short sentences keep the pace up, so the reader never has to re-read a line.

The mechanics

Hook: Leads with a number
Structure: Hook → Landing
Style: Conversational paragraphs at a steady pace.
Tone: personal
Mechanisms: Pattern interrupt, Reciprocity
Written for: People building with AI
