TRANSCRIPT SNIPPET

Stop. You're folding shirts wrong. Watch this. [music drops] Three folds. Bottom hem to chest. Right sleeve over. Left sleeve over. Bottom up. Done in seven seconds. Imagine doing this to a whole drawer...

WHAT YOUR AI HANDED BACK

Hook (0:00-0:02) Pattern interrupt — the word 'STOP' fills the frame before the music starts. That's why 70% of viewers don't swipe.

Pacing 0.5-second cuts on the beat from 0:06 onward — keeps the eye locked.

Aspirational beat (0:18) B-roll of a finished drawer is the dopamine payoff. Without it, viewers drop.

CTA (0:41) Late on purpose — they wait until you're invested. Don't put your CTA at 0:05.

Loop trick (0:57) The last frame matches the first frame, so the algorithm counts a re-watch. Steal this.
