Why it works

Seeing the proof, such as '12 MP' in the photo info, a stranger toggling Airplane Mode, or a setting that still tracks you, creates a reason to fix it right now. Ending with a live test of the fix adds closure.

Hook formulaIf your [device] does [normal thing] even when [condition], that's a problem. Watch this.

How to make it

  1. 1Show the current default or vulnerability in action
  2. 2Point at the evidence (metadata, toggle, background menu)
  3. 3Walk through the change
  4. 4Re-test to show it's fixed

What’s working in tech and ai this week

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.
