Holy F*CK this stickman page is a masterclass in retention
-> 1.7M views on its FIRST reel (GRIDLOCK Day 1)
-> 12 of its 13 reels over 100K
the format:
-> "you" are a stickman stuck in a traffic jam at 7:52 PM
-> a DAY counter and a clock sit in the corner the whole time
-> rules pop up on screen (ENGINE & LIGHTS OFF, NEVER HONK, DON'T LOOK INSIDE)
-> every part ends on a vote in the comments
the rules make u wait for one to get broken, so u stay till the end
theo turned this format into ONE free claude prompt, it's in the article with 9 more
bookmark this before u start a story page

how to build a $100k/mo app:
> go to darkugc.com
> pick a category you love

> build just that feature with claude, but prettier
> copy the formats that made those videos blow up
> repeat
sounds too simple but this tweet is true : )

i just re created this viral stickman survival format in full code with claude opus 5.5
$0 on ai images or video tools, every frame and every sound is code
i turned it into a claude prompt that im giving out for free
open claude code, paste the prompt, swap in your story ↓
build me a 30 second vertical stick figure survival short, 100% in code, without ai images or video tools.
<inputs>
ask me for: where he's stranded, how many days until rescue, 4 story beats (each with a day number and one caption line) and the cliffhanger for the last beat
</inputs>
<build>
1) one html file with a 1080x1920 canvas. draw everything with canvas 2d: sky, ground, props, the stick figure, weather, text
2) expose window.setT(t) that draws the exact frame for time t in seconds, plus window.TOTAL. nothing animates on its own, so every render is identical
3) the stick figure: round helmet with a visor, torso, two part arms and legs, one accent colour backpack. poses as parameters: walk cycle, carry, crouch, sit, look up
4) every beat gets a big "DAY N" badge at the top, one caption at the bottom that types in word by word and one action that moves
5) a small hud in the corner (oxygen, power, food) that drops from beat to beat
6) weather from a seeded random so the snow is identical on every render
7) end on the cliffhanger, a white flash, the final DAY badge and "follow for part 2"
</build>
<render>
1) a python script with playwright: open the html, call setT(i/30) for every frame, screenshot each one
2) a numpy script for the sound: wind that follows the weather, a low drone, a hit on every DAY badge and on the cliffhanger
3) ffmpeg to join frames and audio into an h264 mp4 at 30fps
</render>
render one test frame per beat and show me before you render the whole video
this is a goldmine for app founders

u asked for the full guide so i built it
ONE Claude prompt makes the whole episode (the video below came out of it)
-> it pitches 10 story ideas and keeps the strongest
-> it builds the 3D rooms in code and keeps the same characters in every shot
-> it voices it with a free voice that runs on ur own computer
-> it renders a 78 second mp4 and rates it before u post
all u need is a Claude subscription (no other tools to pay for)
the full guide is free, link in the first reply
bookmark this before u start ur first page
one wedding-invite skit got 7.3M views on TikTok
the same account posted it 25 more times and 23 of those stayed under 9K
-> the 7.3M one and a 1,119-view copy open with the exact same text (check the picture)
-> 2 more broke out, at 914.8K and 264K
-> the account's median over 218 posts is 4,849
so one flop says nothing about a concept, re-shoot it 10 to 20 times before you judge it
i put this case and the rest of what makes app UGC go viral into ONE playbook:
-> 10 X post formats with the recipe and the numbers, built on 1,713 X posts
-> the hooks and video formats pulling views on TikTok and IG this month, live from DarkUGC's 15,452 videos
-> what helps and hurts reach, with numbers
-> a Claude prompt that scores your draft against all of it and writes 10 hooks + scripts
all you need is a Claude subscription (DarkUGC is optional)
the full playbook is free, link in the first reply
bookmark this before your next UGC shoot
here's the playbook: github.com/Enzoxmotion/ugc-v…
open claude_prompt.md, paste it into Claude with your draft or your app, and it scores it against the playbook

this is literally mind blowing, wow 💀
fuck, claude < > darkugc is INSANE
you can now plug claude into darkugc.com MCP
and your agent gets backed by military grade viral video database:
> every viral ugc video on earth
> every viral hook on earth
> every ugc creator on earth
asking claude ANYTHING ugc-related without this data behind has no ROI
just plug it and chill
we're commoditizing every similar software
by eating the cost to make it free
enjoy darkugc.com : )

opus 5.5 is literally INSANE...
i connected claude to darkugc MCP and asked:
"how much is it worth paying ugc creators in the education app niche?"
bunch of tool calls later it came back with:
> what a typical education video pulls
> why follower count shouldn't set the price
> exact pay per video, per 1K views and a cap
> 5 creators to contact today
and its free, holly

distribution is the only moat left
so we built the biggest library of it
introducing the biggest open library of viral ugc videos
> every viral ugc video on earth
> every ugc creator on earth
> every brand running ugc on earth
all in one place (100% free)
if a ugc video goes viral today, you'll see it here tomorrow
i went back and forth on making this public
brands spend months figuring out what works. this puts their whole playbook in the open
but i think shared knowledge is worth more than that risk
this is the lite version. 10x more dangerous version is coming...

152.3K views since oct 24 on a robot that picks a door lock while claude reads the pins
the channel's videos usually get 2.4K
3d printed frame, one esp32 and claude guiding the picking over wi-fi (the maker's build)
how long would your front door last against it?
180M views on this one video
found it on darkugc in under a minute, sorted by views, brand and app right next to it
this is how to find the best formats now

7.8M views in 13 days on the moon wrapped in country flags
the same page's $2.6 billion money video got 12.4K
an economist started the page a month ago
the first flag video, oct 13: "moon vs india vs usa vs russia vs asia": 4.1M
the next two did it again:
-> "moon vs indonesia vs pakistan vs bangladesh vs sri lanka": 2.6M
-> "moon vs vatican city vs iran vs uzbekistan vs mongolia vs vietnam": 1.1M
4.1M in 13 days, 2.6M in 8, 1.1M in 4. a mars version with india went up yesterday: 73.5K so far
the 8 shorts before the flags: 5.2K to 717.6K, middle 12.3K
-> the moon with planets: 717.6K
-> the next one, no moon or countries: 62.2K
-> the moon covered in countries: 4.1M
the moon got the page attention. the countries on it got 4.1M
our guess: someone in pakistan sees pakistan in the title and has to know how many fit
the look:
-> the moon spins on a black background while flags cover it
-> a counter on top climbs as they land: "the moon fits 11.5 indias"
-> 20 seconds, ends on all of asia next to the moon
how it's made, from the video descriptions: blender, country outlines from natural earth, areas from the world bank. all free
for a travel or language app it's a ready series: your user's country on the moon
the steps:
-> pick one huge thing everyone has seen
-> cover it with 4 to 6 countries and name every one in the title
-> the counter is the moon's surface, 37.9M km², divided by each country's area (india: 11.5)
-> end with "which country should go on the moon next?" and let the comments pick the next video
save this and put a country in your next title

184.8K views on a youtube video with a borrowed title
the same channel's videos usually get 1.3K
how to find a title worth borrowing:
-> search your topic on youtube, filter to this month, sort by view count
-> open that channel and check its latest 20 uploads. 10x their middle or more means the title did the work, not the channel
-> keep the wording, change one word, make your own video for it
-> post while the original is still climbing
the original, sep 29: "how to make insane motion graphics with opus 5.5". 671.4K on a channel that usually gets 3.6K
we found 8 english channels that reused that title in the 15 days after it
4 more left out: 2 not in english (posted later), 1 with a different title, 1 channel too new to compare
against each channel's own usual views (the median of its latest uploads, up to 20):
-> 6 of 8 did better than their normal
-> the middle copy did 2.9x
-> the best one did 142x, the same title with "make" swapped for "create"
-> the 2 that did worse still got 0.7x and 0.95x of their normal
our guess: people were already typing that exact phrase into youtube search. there were only a few videos to show them
save this and check this month's top titles before you write your next one
