Why it worked
The video uses a bold claim and a real-life cautionary tale to immediately grab attention. The demonstration of how credit-locked iPhones work (or don't work) creates urgency and fear of missing out on crucial information, making viewers stay to learn how to avoid such a mistake. The direct address and clear visual examples make the complex issue understandable.
