AXON

Why it worked

The video taps into a prevalent fear of government surveillance and lack of privacy, using a strong emotional hook and a clear antagonist (AXON) to resonate with viewers concerned about these issues.

Summary

The video criticizes the company AXON for providing surveillance technology to the government without public consent. It highlights that this technology is being used without people's permission and that the government is benefiting from it.

Structure

1Introduction to unauthorized recording
2Identification of AXON as the provider
3Critique of government use of surveillance
4Call for community decision-making
5Mention of Trump buying AXON stock

Product placement

AXON: ACTS - a company that provides surveillance technology, which is being used by the government. Removing it would change the video's narrative about government surveillance. AXON is mentioned multiple times and is the central focus of the video's critique. Campaign Zero: APPEARS - a logo and name of an organization that appears on a news article screenshot. Removing it would not change what happens in the video, as the article's content is more important than the organization's name.
