Frequently asked

  • Why do dollar signs and arrows work so well?

    They're universal shorthand. A thumbnail with '$10K → $1M' or a green up-arrow communicates the entire premise in 0.3 seconds, which is all you get on a feed.

  • How specific should I be with numbers?

    Very. '$72,341' beats 'a lot' every time. Specificity signals real research and pulls clicks from skeptical viewers.

  • Can I show charts in a thumbnail?

    Yes, but simplified — one line going up or down, color-coded, with a single data point labeled. A real Bloomberg-style chart is too dense.

  • How do I avoid looking spammy?

    Skip the 'YOU WON'T BELIEVE' / arrow-spam aesthetic. Big creators (Graham Stephan, Andrei Jikh) use clean typography, restrained color palettes, and one focal element. Looking premium beats looking loud.
