Why it works
Viewers get something they can use and save right away, which abstract advice like 'flirting isn't complicated' never gave them. Seven accounts used it across ghosting, 'what are we' talks, rejection lines and conflicts.
Hook formulaIf [situation or exact phrase], here's exactly what to say/send: "[script]"
How to make it
- 1Open on a specific scenario or the exact phrase they dread
- 2Give the verbatim reply or text
- 3Show the needy or wrong version for contrast
- 4Add one line on why it works

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.
