Why it worked

The video leverages a highly engaging "Would You Rather" question that sparks curiosity and encourages viewer participation in the thought experiment. The subsequent calculation of potential earnings, especially the extreme scenario of concert clapping, adds a humorous and relatable element that drives engagement.

Summary

The video presents a "Would You Rather" scenario: earning 50 cents for every blink or $100 for every clap within a 3-mile radius, excluding oneself. It then calculates the potential daily earnings for both options, highlighting the significantly higher, though less likely, earnings from the clapping scenario, especially in a concert setting.

WYR: 50c every time you blink or 100$ every time someone claps in a 3 mile radius except you. 1. you blink around 14,400 and 19,200 per day so around 17000 per day divide that by 2 you get around 8500$ per day. 2. you won't get that much money but imagine you go to a concert that's way over 50k every 500 claps probably even more if you think about it, but imagine you're just tired on a Tuesday and don't wanna go out you'll probably get around 2k if so. I'll say if you're lazy choose option one but if you're not option two. I think I'll be able to manage life with only $8900 a day. but inflation get the clap thing. it scales
