The persona at one side with a wide smile or a wry look, a close-up prop showing the problem (dusty filter, pilled sweater, grimy grout), a short white-and-yellow caps caption and a yellow starburst badge ('20 TRICKS' or '$200 A WINTER').

• The channel went from its first upload on Oct 13 to 308 subscribers and 5,363 views in 3 videos over 4 days
