Why it works
The viewer's own assumption is the target, so the post feels like a correction aimed at them. Posts like 'Trusting the Universe is why you're still waiting' and 'Why do addicts relapse?' put the old answer on screen before swapping in a new mechanism.
Hook formula"[Popular niche advice]" is why you're still [stuck outcome]. It's actually [your reframe].
How to make it
- 1State the beloved belief or method in the first line
- 2Blame it for the viewer's specific frustration
- 3Replace it with your own metaphor or mechanism

How this is measured
- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
