Why it worked

The video taps into the common experience of finding unbelievably cheap deals online, creating immediate intrigue and a desire to see if the product is too good to be true. The reveal of the drastically lower actual storage capacity provides a satisfying payoff and a cautionary tale.

Summary

The creator purchased a 1TB SD card from Temu for $7 and suspected it was a scam. After testing it with ValiDrive, they discovered the actual capacity was only 7.47GB, confirming their suspicions.
