Why it worked
The video creates a curiosity gap by presenting a relatable scenario (binge-watching before an exam) and an unexpected outcome (scoring highest). The 'secret' reveal of an AI tool makes it highly shareable and drives comments for the link, boosting engagement and algorithmic reach. The 'friend kept it from me' angle adds a touch of playful drama.
