Verbal hook

As said out loud
We all know that stoners are emotional, they grow gyno, and they have a generally feminine attitude and look. But most people don't talk about the actual reason behind it.

Visual hook

Comparison split
How the visuals workThe creator uses a split-screen layout to show an illustrative meme and a scientific research paper that support his verbal claims about the effects of cannabis.
We all know that stoners are emotional, they grow gyno, and they have a generally feminine attitude and look. But most people don't talk about the actual reason behind it, which is that it actually inhibits DHT from binding to androgen receptors. So you're actually lowering your overall androgenicity. And we also know the various compounds in the ZA are estrogenic. So you're reducing your androgenicity, raising your estrogenic tone, and the result is high prolactin gyno being overly emotional and feminine. If you go down into the comments below, you're probably going to see a bunch of stoners emotionally lashing out.

    The Pivot to Cause

    Shift the focus from the observation to an overlooked technical or scientific cause.

    The Direct Consequence

    Explain the immediate result of that technical mechanism.

Why this structure worksIn Cooking, this could be used to explain why 'cheap meat' behaves a certain way (e.g., 'We know cheap steaks are tough... but the reason is collagen... so you're reducing moisture...'). In Gaming, it can explain why 'hardstuck' players fail (e.g., 'We know low-rank players miss shots... but the reason is input lag... so you're lowering your reaction time...').
