Why it worked
The video uses a highly aesthetic, satisfying 'ASMR-style' food assembly process to capture attention, then leverages that engagement to drive viewers to a newsletter for the recipe.

Product placement
Substack (a newsletter and content platform). It ACTS as the destination for the recipe mentioned in the caption. Removing the mention of Substack would change the video's purpose from driving traffic to a specific platform to merely sharing a recipe.
