This tracks. I watch something on YouTube every day. Netflix is a dormant subscription for me.

Why it spread

It spread because a big source account posted a medium-polish line chart with low self-labelling, and the post reached 301,995 views and 3,929 likes, which is 3.6x the account's typical likes of 1,082.

What worked

  • The chart came from a big source in the top quarter of source reach, which gave the post a wide audience.
  • The design was polished enough to look credible while the post text carried the argument, so the chart did not need heavy self-labelling.
  • The framing matched a familiar debate about mismatched assets and liabilities, and the post drew 226 reposts, 66 quotes and 365 saves.

What to borrow

We could pair a clean line chart of our own data with a short plain-language takeaway, keep labelling light, and let a strong opening line carry the point.

Careful

Do not over-read the quote rate, which was below average, and do not assume the chart alone drove the spread, since the account's normal reach and the post text likely did much of the work.
