What they did
Track all UGC creators (e.g. 20 creators posting ~2x/day = ~40 posts/day). When a video passes a threshold (e.g. 1M views; or ~10 of a creator's 60 monthly posts), split it into hook (first ~2 seconds, cut point auto-detected by AI) and demo. Keep the hook and put your own demo on it, or swap hooks, change the text overlay, then auto-publish to other accounts (never the original), e.g. 5 accounts in different countries, audiences or niches. Make ~3 variations of each of the top 10 to get back to ~30 posts. Also works on competitor posts: take their hooks, add your demo.
In their words
The Superwall Podcast · Matt Espinoza - The NEW App Content Strategy Dominating in 2026“And so, I've essentially split this video from the hook, which is the first like 2 seconds of the video, and the demo, which is the second half.”
“And then, you can essentially split the video, hook and stitch, and then change the hook, change the demo, and launch on another account.”
“you only use the top 10, you make three variations of each of them uh that's already performing and post them again to then get to the 30.”
