Five Reels in six days about losing followers

Alex Petrakieva posts about money and content, and these five were published between 25 and 30 June 2026. The best opens with an admission about the videos themselves: I'm gonna be so for real with you, I hate making these videos because I never know what to say in them, but you keep wanting them. 174,724 views.

It is a hook about the hook. She names her own discomfort with the format and attributes the format to the audience, which does two things at once: it is honest, and it flatters. The viewer is told that this exists because they asked.

The second is a quoted conversation that stops mid-sentence. So I had a conversation with my sister, and she's like, Well. 145,756 views. The quotation marks are the mechanism; somebody is about to say something and the sentence ends before they do.

The third is the most unusual number on the page. For six months, I basically lost just as many followers as I gained did 101,713. Creators do not usually open on a flat growth chart, and the willingness to state it is what makes it worth watching.

The weakest is the only serial entry. I have been doing a series this entire month on my page did 54,538 and assumes the viewer has been following that month. It is the same failure that shows up on every account we have measured with a series: an instalment that does not restate its own premise only works on people who did not need the hook.

The hooks on this account

What you can copy

• Credit the audience for the video. You keep wanting them turns an awkward format into a response to demand.
• End on somebody about to speak. The quoted sentence that stops is the second-best hook here.
• Restate the premise in every instalment of a series. The one serial entry on this page is also its weakest Reel.
