It’s not even close.

Why it worked
The on-screen hook 'It's not even close' is pure curiosity-gap with zero context, forcing the viewer to stay 2-3 seconds just to learn what's being compared. Paired with 'Miami is the best city on planet earth' in second 1, it stacks curiosity with a contrarian-superlative claim that begs disagreement, which is the exact mechanism that fills comments with NYC/SD/LA defenders. The lever is contrarian superlative plus withheld subject, not novelty or proof.
What to replicate
Take a city/place with a loaded stereotype (Miami = fake) and openly name the stereotype in sentence one, then flip it with a specific contrarian lifestyle proof (run clubs, pickleball, paddle, no drinking). The format 'X gets a bad rap, but actually...' plus concrete daily-life details triggers city-tribalism comments at scale, which is what drove 2984 shares and 27.75x baseline.

Avoid
The post hit on geography/lifestyle identity, not on the creator-manager business. Comments are almost entirely about Miami vs other cities, zero ROSTER intent, so the 142k views were a vanity spike that won't convert to OVO Academy leads. Don't mistake this format for a lead-gen template.
