Kill list violations
✕Emojis (😭 ❤️ 👇👇) — emotional performance
✕Engagement bait — "Tag them below"
✕Overly casual tone masking lack of substance — "it hit different"
✕Generic motivational language — "The people who really care about you..."
✕No specifics about what the advice actually was
Why the good version works
The good version gives you the exact quote and the exact challenge. You remember the advice because you heard it the same way the author did. It's short, it's specific, and it doesn't ask you to tag anyone.
