Why it worked

The video likely resonated due to its bold, subjective, and potentially controversial claim, which invites engagement and debate in the comments section. The use of a popular cultural figure (Drake) to associate with the city's aesthetic also taps into a relatable cultural touchpoint.

Summary

The creator argues that Toronto's skyline is superior to New York City's skyline, citing its beauty and association with Drake. They dismiss opposing views and emphasize the visual appeal of Toronto's cityscape.
