Why it worked
The video taps into a relatable feeling of inadequacy and the common practice of curating an online persona, particularly on platforms like LinkedIn. The use of specific, albeit trivial, examples of achievements makes the point humorous and memorable, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own online presence and potentially seek solutions like the promoted course.
Summary
The creator argues that lacking significant achievements, people often resort to posting mundane accomplishments like a summer internship on LinkedIn. This is presented as a way to create a sense of accomplishment when there's a perceived lack of other notable achievements.
