Why it worked

The video leverages user interaction by responding to a comment, making the content personalized and engaging. The visual and auditory ASMR-like quality of the scratching, combined with the clear demonstration of skill, is highly satisfying and shareable. The 'challenge' aspect of fulfilling a specific sequence also encourages repeat views and further engagement.
