Why it worked

Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.
Uses concrete numbers instead of vague claims, which makes it credible and quotable.
Contradicts something the audience already believes, which stops the scroll.
Uses short lines and white space, which makes a long post feel quick to read.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Context → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
Ends on a short line that is easy to quote and repeat.

Structure: Hook → Context → Context → Context → Landing
