Platform-ready post drafts

Human-like: 90/100

A semi-final that lists one streaming feed and no local kickoff times is a publishing failure — diaspora fans miss the big moments while outlets pat themselves on the back.

Why this draft works
  • Attention score: 92
  • Psychological trigger score: 87
  • Character count: 189
  • Length status: OK
  • Primary hook: Status Threat
  • Secondary hooks: Loss Aversion, Social Identity
  • Tone: incisive
  • Intended reaction: shares and calls for corrections
  • Why it works: Targets a specific operational failure (single feed/no local time), names the harmed group (diaspora fans), and promises a visible loss (missed moments) — likely to drive shares and corrections.
  • Evidence in draft: ['"lists one streaming feed and no local kickoff times"', '"diaspora fans miss the big moments"']
  • Human voice notes: Angry, diaspora-focused voice that calls out exclusionary publishing.
  • Reaction mechanism: Expose exclusionary UX choices
  • First sentence type: provocative_statement
  • Question type: none
