# Corporate villain story with screenshot receipts

A gaming format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/gaming/corporate-villain-story-with-screenshot-receipts

Frame a news story as players or consumers against a company, and back each claim with screenshots, official statements or a price jump shown on screen. It worked for 8 accounts, with a median of 12x their usual reach. Type: Angle. Seen as: Slideshow, Talking head, Video, Voiceover, Green screen.

## Why it works

Visible proof builds outrage and gives people something to argue about in comments. Lunchb0xgaming, jthefrog0, njoygamers, tdawgsmitty, gamesdotgg and mattkahla all lead with the receipts.

## How to make it

1. Open with the injustice or the shocking number
2. Stack screenshots or quotes as proof
3. Close with a polarizing question for the comments

## 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.
