The post opens with “We are entering a new dark age of cybersecurity”, a first-person opening that the founder-account launches in the directory use most. It carries a 2:10 video against a directory median of 66 seconds. Videos over 90 seconds have a median of 590K views in the directory.
The copy runs 45 words, about the usual length for a launch post here, where the median is 41. The body carries a link, so the post had somewhere to send the reader and paid a little reach for it.
