This creator normally gets 8.9M views. This one got 9.4M. That gap — not the raw number — is what makes the format worth copying.
A woman complains about men saying "I am him." The video then cuts to a visual effects artist who creatively demonstrates that he is indeed "him" by showcasing his skills and his "real" wife, contrasting with the AI girl from the previous video.
