Caption alpha-reveal beats whole-line pop-in captions
On short-form video, captions that pop in one full line at a time lose attention. Instead: reveal caption text ONE WORD AT A TIME, in sync with the spoken audio, using ffmpeg `drawtext` + `alpha` expression keyed to timestamps. 30 min to set up a reusable script per-project. Retention visibly jumps — viewers track the rhythm. Used across Basement Boys + Cheddy clips.

Mix hook placement across your feed — tease vs payoff
Feed algorithms (and viewers) reward rhythm. Some clips should TEASE the punchline up front ('wait for the reveal at 0:12...'). Others should put the BIG HIT at the very end, unannounced. Running one style exclusively flattens your feed. The Clip Law says every clip needs HOOK + ENTERTAINING + PAYOFF — but WHERE you place the hook relative to the payoff should vary across any 20 consecutive posts.

TikTok pinned comments convert better than captions
On TikTok, the pinned comment drives more action than the caption. Two patterns that work: (1) answer the implicit 'is this real?' objection directly ("yes these are real clients. DM for the blueprint."), or (2) seed a bait question so you can reply-to-top with your own link ("how much? ↓"). Pin BEFORE you post so it's on top from minute 1. Free, 10 seconds.
