What spreads for 丁香医生 on Channels

The 15 newest videos on 丁香医生’s Channels account, three of them pinned.

The answer

Short videos spread far more. Recent videos of 30 seconds or less had a median of 13,496 forwards; those over a minute had 1,009, thirteen times fewer.

The best recent videos

An 11-second animation of how a spinal disc slips (15,476 forwards) and an 18-second "which nail type are you?" (13,496). All three pinned hits, with 100,000 to 236,000 forwards each, are under 35 seconds.

What to do

Cut the two-minute RSV and vaccine explainers into 20-second clips with one warning each, and use self-check formats that people forward to family chats.
