Why it worked

Original caption

Every billionaire Vick Tipnes knows answers the phone. Not because they have time, but because relationships matter at the top. Proximity is power. If you are close enough to call, you are close enough to learn. Enjoyed this clip?

Removing this would remove the entire purpose of the video. Fiji Water (b) APPEARS: a bottle is visible on the table. Removing this would not change the video.
