How a 4.86M-follower Douyin account builds viral takes with Aristotle's stasis theory

A Chinese AI commentator breaks down the "stasis theory" methodology behind viral content, using a video from Douyin's 4.86M-follower finance account about the Xibe vs Luo Yonghao feud. The four layers: factual stasis (what happened), definitional stasis (where the real dispute lies), evaluative stasis (each side's stance), and action stasis (maximizing one's own interests). He traces it to Aristotle's Rhetoric and notes Douyin is an open-book arena for persuasion techniques.
