Linus Ekenstam spotlights @antrofrog, a "zero-skill artist" who exploded across socials in 40 days, with his latest video hitting roughly 200M views across platforms in just 36 hours.
- Created with Midjourney and Krea, the series follows "a British gentleman in New York" and is praised as a masterclass in short-form storytelling.
- Every clip has a hook, builds and releases suspense, and stacks on the others while staying true to the premise; pacing is precise, music likely drives the story, and each short ends on a moral about not cutting lines and simply being good.
- It's not a one-platform fluke: the videos go viral wherever posted, whether by the creator or re-uploaders, and he dropped two more Instagram videos within five hours.
