# Ranking board viewers can vote on

A relationships and dating format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/relationships-and-dating/ranking-board-viewers-can-vote-on

Show an on-screen tier list or numbered slots and fill each in as you rank or present options. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 8x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Video, Talking head.

## Why it works

The fixed slots give a reason to stay to the end, and rankings invite disagreement. Tier lists, 1-10 rankings, and 1-5 numbered pairings all ask viewers to pick a favorite.

## How to make it

1. Put the empty board (S-F tiers or 1-10 slots) on screen
2. Reveal each option for a couple of seconds
3. Give a one-line verdict for each
4. Ask viewers to vote by number

## 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.
