Hands-off Claude-coded video hits 596k views while his planned one got 1.3k

Creator prasenx shares that two videos made the same way — Claude writing every frame in code — diverged wildly: a spontaneous one hit 596k+ views while one he planned for a day got just 1.3k.
The viral workflow:
- Open an empty folder in Cursor with a short prompt: topic, feeling, and "go all out"
- Let it compose its own soundtrack in code
- Don't touch it while it works; post the output as-is
The flop was over-planned, tweaked, and second-guessed. His takeaway: the less he interferes, the better it performs — a lesson he keeps relearning.
