How this pattern works

Follow these 3 core steps to execute the pattern perfectly.

Step 1 · The List Setup

Present your items

Show 3-7 items in your category. Don't explain why they're chosen - just present them visually.

Step 2 · Your Controversial Take

Rank them boldly

Give your ranking with confidence. Put something unexpected at the top or bottom.

Step 3 · The Comment Bait

Ask for their version

End by directly asking viewers to share their ranking.
