What to study

Curiosity Gap

The title puts a whole community's taste on trial and keeps the verdict hidden. The floating covers name the exact books being judged, ones the viewer has likely bought on that community's word. The 101 count makes the answer feel earned, not one man's mood.

How the packaging works
Title

The title asks whether the community can be trusted and refuses to answer.

The thumbnail shows the exact books on trial and counts the 101 recommenders behind them.

Remix this

Use this when your community holds a consensus you can test. Do the full homework, count it, and hold the verdict behind the click. Show the named things on trial so viewers can pre-argue with you.
