Why it works
A crowded street and typed year establish a specific setting by 0:00.8, while source-backed charts turn abstract claims into visible trends. After a full minute of prosperity, the 1:05 reversal creates the core question; the 3:08–3:18 replay peak falls on the archival restart after the sponsor segment. Across the six-minute sample, 71 within-shot changes add movement to just 34 detected shots.
