Viewer Guidance (3 tips)

▶

Notice retention tactics

Content structure prioritizes keeping you watching over informing you. Ask if the format serves understanding or attention.

▶

Watch for emotional framing

This content frequently uses emotional appeal. Notice when feelings are being prioritized over evidence.
