Why it worked

The creator taps into a relatable sentiment about family size and the desire for more children, framing it in a personal and somewhat provocative way. The use of numbered reasons and a clear, albeit aspirational, target number makes the content easily digestible and shareable.

Summary

The creator, who is 35 and already has three children, explains why he wants to have more kids. He cites two reasons: first, that most parents wish they had more children, and second, that he cannot imagine settling down with someone without having a child with them.

Transcript

with 1 million percent certainty I can tell you yes I am going to have more kids and let me tell you why. And I know that sounds crazy. I'm 35, I already have three kids. Why would I have more? Two reasons. Reason number one. I've yet to meet somebody with kids that doesn't at least part of them wishes they had more kids. Reason number two. It's hard for me to imagine a world where I get married again and I settle down with somebody for the rest of my life and I don't have a child with that person. Of course, God willing and there's no compromise. I would love to do that. So you boys probably gonna have like seven. 10 total sounds perfect.
