Why it works

• Date and deadline hooks: at least 17 of 30 titles carry a month, year or deadline, and so do 3 of the 4 most viewed videos
• A named reader plus a warning word in at least 8 of 30 titles, such as Seniors, Over 65 or Retirees with NEVER, WARNING or Alert
• One man, one layout: the same face in 9 of 10 thumbnails, with bold capitals, yellow and red bars and Capitol or flag backdrops
• Topics follow dated news: the two COLA videos have 5,649 views (Sep 29) and 30 views (Oct 15, after the Oct 14 announcement)
• High volume with breakouts: 30 uploads in 33 days; 4 pass 4,900 views while 22 of the other 26 stay under 900
