21.6 million views on a note about a budget
Cat GPT has the highest views-to-followers ratio in this batch: 34.1 million views across five Reels on 773,000 followers, about 44 times the account. The top one did 21.6 million and opens with five words that sound like they were copied out of a calendar: conference, but TBD on budget.
It is a fragment of admin. There is no claim, no promise, no audience named, and no indication of what the video is. What it does carry is a specific, slightly funny tension that anybody who has ever asked to go to something expensive recognises immediately.
The rest of the account is the opposite: fully explained tech content. I just got back from Google I/O. I made this landline phone that connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth. Let me show you how prompt injections work and why they're turning AI into a massive security problem. These did between 1.9 and 5.2 million, which is excellent, and a quarter of the fragment.
The prompt injections Reel is the longest in the set at 150 seconds and the lowest at 1.9 million, and it is also the most useful thing on the account. That gap between usefulness and reach is the honest tension in this kind of content, and it is not resolved by writing a better hook.
The landline phone Reel is the one to copy. I made this landline phone that connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth is a complete object described in fourteen words, and it did 3.4 million in 35 seconds. It is concrete, it is strange, and it does not need the viewer to care about the category first. That is a repeatable recipe in a way that the budget fragment is not.
The hooks on this account
| Hook pattern | What it does | From which Reel |
|---|---|---|
| Fragment of admin | A line of ordinary working life with a recognisable tension in it. | Conference, but TBD on budget, 21.6M views. |
| A strange object, described | Name the thing you made in one concrete sentence. | A landline phone that connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth, 3.4M views. |
| Full explanation offered | Say exactly what you will teach and why it matters. | How prompt injections work, 1.9M views. |
What you can copy
- Keep a note of the ordinary sentences in your working week. The biggest Reel on this account is five words of calendar admin.
- Describe the object, not the category. A landline that connects over Bluetooth is concrete enough to need no setup.
- Accept that the most useful thing you make may not be the biggest. The security explainer here is the best video and the smallest number.
