Why it spread
This chart post spread because it paired a striking claim about Anthropic and OpenAI revenue growth exceeding three times per year and accelerating with an independent author, drawing 332 likes, 45 reposts, 31 quotes, 120 saves and 126,877 views.
What worked
- The post text leads with a concrete, time-bound claim that Anthropic and OpenAI were already among the fastest-growing companies of their size in history in 2025, then adds the twist that growth accelerated in 2026.
- The chart is a line chart with high self-labelling calibre and a visible source line, so viewers can read the trend and its origin without extra explanation.
- It is branded and tied to a newsletter discussion featuring named independent voices, which lifted the quote rate into the top quarter and helped the post travel beyond the account's own audience.
What to borrow
We could take a familiar metric our team already tracks, frame it as a two-step story of an already strong level followed by a surprising acceleration, and publish it as a clearly labelled line chart with a source line and a named internal or external discussant.
Careful
Do not copy the specific growth claim or treat the engagement numbers as a benchmark for every chart, since the spread here also depended on the account's reach, the independent author and a newsletter hook.
