The video likely performed well due to the inherent shock value and danger of a large predator in shallow waters, combined with the natural curiosity and fear surrounding sharks. The creator's promise of more footage also encourages continued engagement.
Summary
The video shows a massive great white shark feeding on a seal in shallow waters near Nantucket. The creator mentions that this is a common sight in the area, especially in October, and that they plan to share more footage of sharks and seals.

Transcript
My buddy just sent me this video from Nantucket. Um, this was a couple that was heading out to Great Point and they're in their Jeep and they saw this adult white shark like 3 feet from the shoreline, ripping apart a seal. That had to be a huge seal for that amount of blood. He might have also gotten a seal before that. The water was also flat. It was a calm day. And, um, when the juvenile gets the gets the seals and whatnot, and that video I posted last week in Truro, the water was much rougher. And, um, but it was like a whole sea of red that was just coming ashore from so many sharks biting so many seals. And, um, and this is what we're gonna be getting all through October. It's just wild.

Just so you guys know we will be filming with the drones this october. We've made the decision. We have two drones. I did another post about that. We'll do footage of us using the drones. And then, of course, we will show you what we capture. They can be seen extremely clear from the sky, especially if they're just on the shoreline, which right now they're everywhere, especially the outer cape. You guys have asked. We have listened. So we'll finally start showing you some white shark footage. From the drones, nice and safe from the shoreline.🦈🦈🦈🩸🦭
