The Authority Pivot
A structure that challenges a common industry habit before establishing the narrator as the expert with the correct alternative.
Why it works
Viewers stay because the initial challenge creates cognitive dissonance that needs to be resolved. They share it because the pivot provides a clear, actionable takeaway that makes them feel smarter than the majority.
