Why it worked
The video uses relatable imagery of corporate burnout and stress, which resonates with a large audience experiencing similar pressures. The stark contrast between the 'low cortisol life' and the 'Big4' experience creates an immediate emotional hook.

Big4: acts - it is the employer of the creator, and the creator's experience working there is the subject of the video. Removing it would change the video's subject.
