Why it worked
The video leverages the social proof of a major artist playing the creator's work, creating a 'flex' moment that feels authentic rather than like a traditional advertisement.
Summary
The creator reacts to a video of Skrillex playing a mashup at Lollapalooza, revealing that it is actually the creator's own edit. They then direct viewers to their SoundCloud to download the track for free.
