The headline finding

Average reactions per video, by content pillar

Across this niche the reaction ceiling sits around 1k–4k. The gap between pillars is what matters: revenue and agent POVs travel; pure DTC tactics don't.

Avg. reactions / video

Higher is better · five pillars compared

Lead with agentic-AI + a revenue POV. Use DTC results as proof — never as the headline.

DTC-tactics videos averaged just 97 reactions — roughly a third of a GTM or AI/agents take. The story and category-thesis pillars sit in between, strong enough to anchor a feed when paired with a clear point of view.
