Myth-busting creates controversy

"Myth-busting" works because it challenges beliefs. People think: "They're saying what I believe is wrong. I want to see their argument." It's engagement wrapped in challenge.

Plus, myth-busting creates credibility. When you say "Why [common belief] is actually a myth," you're positioning yourself as revealing truth. People want to know the truth. They click because myth-busting feels credible—even when the myth is minor.

Myth-busting is just truth with better controversy

It works because it hits three triggers: controversy, credibility, and truth. The myth creates controversy. The busting creates credibility. The truth creates engagement. People see "Why [common belief] is actually a myth" and think: "I believed that. I want to see if they're right." They click because myth-busting feels engaging—even when the myth is just a misunderstanding. It's not about being clever—it's about making truth feel controversial.
