Pull score

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

Why this qualified

Running 1128x the account's own baseline, this post reached 3.6M views against the 3.2K a normal post there sees. That is the whole test for an outlier in Handler - reach measured against the account's own median rather than against other accounts, so a small account with a genuine breakout still qualifies while a big account coasting on its size does not.

Equals is the product on screen. Where reach gets a post seen, Pull - here 2/5, 1.2% weighted - is what says viewers acted on it, since saves and shares weigh in hardest and a save is the clearest sign a viewer means to come back.

Underneath the two scores sit the actual counts - 36K likes, 163 comments, 462 shares, and 1.3K saves - the raw engagement Handler reads to place the post in its niche.

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

Anatomy

The silent UGC video runs for about 9 seconds without spoken audio, opening directly on handheld footage. The visual hook relies entirely on on-screen text and ambient imagery rather than voiceover. Across two to three brief visual beats, the clip maintains a swift, unedited pacing that frames the subject in a natural setting. On-screen text overlays deliver the core premise around music and meeting people, guiding the viewer through the action without sound. The featured app interface appears mid-clip on a mobile screen, showcasing its community features before cutting to a final visual callout in the closing seconds.
