Comment "reels" and I'll send you the tool I use that finds me viral Instagram formats

If you’re trying to get your first viral Reel, start by paying attention to formats that are already working.

This doesn’t mean copying someone’s video. It means noticing the type of post people are already responding to, then finding a way to make that format fit your niche.

A lot of creators put pressure on themselves to come up with something completely original every time, but most viral content is built on familiar formats. The difference is the angle, the personality, and the topic.

So if a certain style of video is working in fitness, fashion, gaming, food, or business, there’s usually a way to adapt that structure into your own content without making the same video.

That’s how you learn faster. You’re using what’s already proven to hold attention, then adding your own perspective to it.

Comment "start" for help starting your own YouTube channel today! [FULL STORY BELOW]

Nicholas Galitzine who stars in the upcoming live action Masters of the Universe movie, went viral after recreating the iconic “HEYYEYAAEYAAAEYAEYAA” He Man meme on The Tonight Show.

For all of us growing up this wasn’t just a random He Man joke. It was one of those videos that helped define an era of internet humor, back when YouTube memes spread through reposts, edits, reaction videos, and people sending links to each other.

The meme also gave He Man a second life in pop culture. Even people who didn’t grow up watching Masters of the Universe knew the rainbow background and dramatic vocals.

For the recreation, Galitzine fully leaned into the joke. He wore the short bob wig, used the microphone brush, and performed in front of a rainbow background to match the original meme as closely as possible.

The timing also makes sense. The performance happened just days before the new Masters of the Universe movie release on June 5, 2026, so it worked as both a promo moment and a nod to the internet history around the franchise.

Did he do the original justice or not?

Comment “data” and I’ll DM you the guide on how to install YouTube with Claude

vidIQ now lets creators connect YouTube data to Claude using MCP, which basically means Claude can answer creator questions with real YouTube intelligence instead of guessing.

So instead of asking something like “what should my next video be?” and getting a vague AI answer, you can ask about keywords, competitors, trends, analytics, or video performance with actual vidIQ data behind it.

The tool can help you find low competition keywords, spot videos that are outperforming, audit channels, compare creators, and see what formats are gaining traction right now.

It works with Claude and other MCP compatible tools, and the setup is designed to take about 60 seconds. Once it’s connected, you can ask YouTube growth questions in plain English and get data backed answers inside your AI chat.

For creators, that’s the useful part. AI is good at brainstorming, but it’s way better when it has real context. This gives Claude access to the kind of YouTube data that helps you make smarter decisions before you post.
