Video card · Luke Pierce · open in Notion ↗
Read before this gets pitched. Four of the five proofs belong to one channel with roughly 11M subscribers running a studio format with a cast, a set and a crew. Those multipliers are not available to Luke and quoting them at him would be dishonest. The proof that actually carries this card is CLASH: a small channel, a 1 vs 10 cast instead of 1 vs 20, a narrow topic, and it still pulled 298,439 views at 5.3 views per subscriber. That is the version Luke can produce. Note that CLASH's multiplier was never captured, only its views per subscriber, so the caption below says so rather than inventing one.
Second thing: "Surrounded" is Jubilee's format name, not a generic tag. Title 3 keeps it because the rip rule says keep the structure, but using it in public would read as a copy of somebody else's show. Treat title 3 as the shape to imitate, not the words to publish.
Proof top-up still needed. The Velio daily quota ran out during this rebuild. Subscriber counts, channel averages and @handles are missing from every caption below and have not been guessed.

Three proofs, same sentence. The CLASH one is the one to copy: it proves the structure holds at 1 vs 10, on a niche subject, on a channel Luke's size.
Proves title 2: "[Named Person] vs The [Movement]"

Title 2 needs Luke's name to already mean something to the person scrolling, so it is ranked below the position-versus-group version. Title 1 works on strangers, title 2 works on people who already know him.
Why the seat suits him: the anti-AI position is the most loaded take in business right now and nobody has staged it. Luke's brand is calm, low ego, proof over hype, and this format punishes anyone who tries to dunk. He does not win by being louder, he wins by opening a laptop when a claim can be settled on screen.
Luke sits in the middle and ten business owners who think AI is oversold take turns trying to change his mind, and every time an argument can be settled he opens a laptop instead of talking.
For each owner, he covers:
The ending reframes the whole thing: he closes on the objections he could not answer, names the two things the owners were right about, and names the one job he tells owners not to automate at all. He loses on purpose, in public, because that is the only version of this format that his audience would trust.
Production: this one needs a shoot. One room, ten chairs in a ring, one seat in the middle, a laptop on the table wired to the screen so builds go up live. The real cost is casting: ten genuine business owners who hold the position, not actors reading it, or the format collapses on the first answer.
