i built an ai agent and fed it alex hormozi's entire youtube catalogue - 173 videos, 172 transcripts, 220 megabytes of data. the agent found 50 patterns, 9 title formulas with benchmarks, and 5 rules in my content pipeline that were statistically wrong.
in this episode, i walk through each of the 5 overturned rules with the actual data behind them. title length, contrarian hooks, emotional triggers, case study structure, and pain-first openings. none of them held up.
