Why it worked

The video taps into a universal curiosity about sensory experiences and uses a simple, relatable demonstration to explore a complex topic. The direct question to the audience and the personal nature of the creator's exploration encourage engagement.

Summary

The creator explores the subjective experience of blindness by asking viewers to imagine what it's like to see. They demonstrate by closing one eye and then both eyes, describing the sensation as darkness and relating it to seeing out of one's elbow.

Transcript

Have you ever thought what do blind people see? Because I have, so I did some research and I'm gonna tell you what I found. They have just well, one person described it as seeing out of your elbow. Can you see out of your elbow? No. You can't see anything out of your elbow. Can you even see blackness? Like you can't see that out of your elbow, can you? Like you can't see blackness. So that's what it's like to be blind. It's like doing that but on both of your eyes. Like that's just crazy. Please confirm or deny if you are blind and you see this.
