Why it works
A high-friction seasonal question gets comments and shares in the days it is actually being debated. The three posts attack it from different angles: a shock bait-and-switch, a callout, and a nuanced ruling.
Hook formulaIs [seasonal event] [forbidden/allowed]? / [Forbidden thing] has become so normalized that people forgot [event] is still [forbidden].
How to make it
- 1Pick the calendar event your audience is arguing about right now
- 2Lead with a binary question or provocative opener
- 3Give the ruling or breakdown immediately

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.
