So I was reading a post recently about how, you're basically ⬛⬛⬛⬛ed if you don't hire an 18-y/o ABG as your CMO. (No, I didn't hallucinate this.) To be honest, I wasn't even mad so much as upset at m…

Secondary Themes

Creator meta-commentary on audience expectations (humor vs "serious" content pressure)Community-building via inside jokes, polls, and recurring audience labelingIdentity/culture references used as comedic framing (used to parody stereotypes rather than teach identity topics)

Industry Focus

B2B startup ecosystem (founders/operators)Marketing leadership discourse on LinkedInHiring/recruiting adjacent workplace conversations

Comedic workplace commentarySatirical teardown / parody of bad takesInteractive discussion prompt (question-first posts)Meta-creator/audience relationship postsSocial etiquette micro-lessons

Best Performing Topics

Interactive hiring/workplace etiquette scenarios that let readers "judge" and adviseHumor-forward, highly shareable one-liners or meme-structured postsSatire that targets recognizable LinkedIn/startup discourse patterns

Virality Signals

Comment-heavy prompts (readers supply norms, personal experiences, and "what I would do")Relatable workplace conflict as the engine (easy to project onto, low context required)Low share rate suggests the content spreads through conversation rather than repostingHumor acts as a safe wrapper for critique, increasing likeability without requiring expertise claims

Common Hooks

Negative-instruction hook ("How not to...") that promises a social correctionAbsurd scenario hook that feels like real workplace drama (then invites judgment)Mock dialogue / staged "haters vs me" framing to pre-handle objectionsContrarian parody hook that exaggerates a trend until it becomes obviously ridiculous

Common Endings

Rhetorical question that forces the audience to co-sign ("could you imagine...?")Self-aware punchline that reframes the post as commentary on attention-seekingCommunity nod/shoutout that rewards participants (naming a "club" or cohort)

Value Delivery Methods

Social calibration: teaches norms indirectly by showing "what not to do"Pattern recognition: spotlights and ridicules attention-economy behavior in startup/LinkedIn cultureConversation facilitation: turns everyday workplace moments into group sensemaking

Formatting Style

Short lines for comedic timingAll-caps emphasis for punchlines/character voiceCensored profanity blocks to signal edge without fully crossing brand limitsEm-dashes and section dividers (---) for pacingLabeling speakers (ME / HATERS) to create skit-like structure

Writing style breakdown

I’ve been sitting in this Zoom lobby for exactly 47 minutes.

Just me, my ring light, and the reflection of my own growing resentment in the monitor.

Now, usually, I’m a "give 'em 10 minutes and ghost" kind of guy. But today? Today I decided to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Is this a test?

Is this a social experiment?

Am I being filmed for a segment on "How Much Disrespect Will A Consultant Swallow Before He Snaps?"

(If so, the answer is 48 minutes. I’m almost there.)

The best part? I messaged them at the 15-minute mark.

The response: "Running 2 mins late!"

That was 32 minutes ago.

In those 32 minutes, I have

Reorganized my desktop icons by color.

Researched the history of the stapler.

Considered starting a rival company just to spite them.

So, I’m curious... what’s your "I’m out" threshold?

Do you cut the cord at 5 minutes?

Do you wait an hour out of some misplaced sense of professional martyrdom?

Let me know. I have nothing but time. Clearly.
