# Captioned steps, comment gate

**8,782,287 views proved it** · 12 of Damon's swipes use this format

## What it is

A complete recipe or routine is given away in full on camera — every ingredient named, every amount stated, nothing withheld — carried by per-beat spoken captions from a fixed frame, with occasional cutaways standing in for what the camera cannot show. Then the last two beats convert: a physical book or product is held to the lens behind a comment-to-get gate.

## Why it works

Withholding nothing is the offer: a viewer who has just been handed the whole thing for free assumes the paid thing must be worth more. The gate arrives after the value, not before it, so it reads as a next step rather than a toll.

## The beats, in order

1. the frame opens mid-sentence, first caption clause already running
2. ingredient one named and dosed on camera
3. the remaining steps performed in order, one caption clause each
4. a cutaway carries the claim the camera cannot show
5. the physical book or product held to the lens — the comment gate lands in the caption

## On-screen text

running speech subtitles, one clause per beat in the same position, opening mid-sentence; the terminal beats carry the comment-to-get gate

## Camera

one locked frame on the practitioner performing to camera for the body of the runtime, with brief hand-offs to a render or inset; back to the locked frame for the close
