Why it works
Viewers get the difference instantly and silently, with no explanation. Several accounts used the same wrong-then-right contrast.
Hook formula[Skill]: wrong ❌ vs right ✅
How to make it
- 1Show the wrong version first with a marker (greyscale and red X, buzzer, or one side of a split-screen)
- 2Cut to the correct version with a contrasting marker (color and green check, ding)
- 3Keep the cuts to 1-2 seconds, or hold one variable constant side by side

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.
