Study the multiple
A 10× video beat its own audience ten times over. That's the topic or packaging worth copying the structure of — not the biggest channel.
Find the repeat
One breakout can be luck. When several titles share a structure — a number, a price, a comparison — that's a pattern.

Keep the mechanism, use your own topic and proof. Then check your title, thumbnail and hook together before publishing.
