Why it worked

Summary

Product placement
Bidstitch: (a) Acts; the creator uses the platform to track vintage sales and value, and the creator's bio and branding are present throughout. Removing it would change the context of the post from a generic news item to a branded promotion for the Bidstitch app. eBay: (a) Acts; it is the marketplace where the transaction occurred and is explicitly named as the source of the sale. Removing it would change the factual claim of the video.
