Pull score
5/5

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

Why this qualified

Handler logged this app demo post at 203K views, a jump of 134x over the account's median. The Outlier score is exactly that jump, and with 1.5K views being ordinary for this account the breakout stands well clear of its own baseline. That is the bar every post in this library has cleared.

Saves and shares carry the most weight in a Pull score, and this post's landed at 5/5 (31.9% weighted). It promotes Pikmin Bloom. Pull is the intent side of the two scores - a post can rack up views and still convert nothing, so Handler tracks reach and Pull as separate reads.

By the raw numbers the post logged 41K likes, 193 comments, 3.1K shares, and 2.7K saves - the metrics Handler weighs into its Pull read, and the same figures you see in the panel above.

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

Anatomy

The video runs for about 22 seconds and opens directly on a mobile screen recording of the Pikmin Bloom app. A spoken voiceover delivers the opening hook, explaining that an in-game character must travel to Disney to retrieve an item. The clip consists of one continuous scene inside the app interface, displaying an expedition menu and a yellow creature with a custom name. The view stays locked on the game screen as the sender says goodbye to the character. Pacing is steady and matches the spoken monologue. The app UI remains visible throughout, with on-screen game text showing the character details alongside the spoken audio.
