Avatar

• Realistic avatar
• A photorealistic older woman with short grey hair and a round, smiling face, a navy shirt and a striped or cream apron, shown at one side of the frame in a bright kitchen, often pointing at the dish or resting her chin on her hand.

Format

Opens on a failed-dish scene in second person and tells the viewer it is not their fault; the persona gives her canteen backstory, then counts down a list of 5-22 techniques or foods with what heat or cold does; ends with a food-safety note and a pitch for a written guide.

Why it works

• Nordic or Scandinavian is in 17 of 18 titles; 10 are numbered lists of 5 to 22 items and 5 are 'wrong way' titles.
• 4 of the 6 newest uploads (Oct 3-11) use 'wrong way' titles; 2 of them (485 and 336 views) are already in the top 5 by views.
• 12 of 18 descriptions open on a second-person problem, and both sampled captions reassure the viewer ('you are fine at eggs') before the fix.
• A named persona with a stated backstory (31 years in Norwegian canteen, school and care-home kitchens) appears in both sampled captions and 6 descriptions.
• 9 of 10 thumbnails pair the same woman with a white-and-yellow block headline of 3 to 5 words; the 10th (Sep 11) differs.
