4/5 reach magnitude vs the account's own baseline.

Pull score
5/5

How hard it moved viewers to save, share, and comment.

Why this qualified

1.4M views on a slideshow post, 85x the account's usual reach. The Outlier score reads reach as a multiple of the account's own median, and that median sits around 16K views, which is why the multiple matters more than the raw view count - it isolates the posts that outran their own channel instead of the ones riding a big following.

Its Pull score of 5/5 (24.2% weighted) measures how hard it moved viewers to save, share, and comment - the actions weighted heaviest because they signal real intent rather than a passing tap. The product it puts forward is Pure dating app. Reach gets a post seen; Pull is the read on whether it landed.

The counts behind those scores: 227K likes, 181 comments, 14K shares, and 14K saves. Saves and shares are weighted heaviest because they are the actions that carry a post into more feeds.

The full breakdown - why the hook works, the comment-intent read, and the ready-to-shoot dupe kit - lives inside Handler.

Anatomy

The post opens on the first slide with a still image accompanied by a text overlay establishing a dating POV scenario. This initial frame delivers a text hook focused on modern relationship dynamics. The slideshow moves across two distinct beats, advancing at a manual swipe pace. The second slide presents a concluding visual response, transitioning the narrative to display an in-app interaction or message exchange tied to the dating platform referenced in the caption tags. Text overlays remain centered across both frames, with no spoken audio or voiceover present. The app reference integrates directly into the visual resolution on the second image.
