chartosaur A special golden egg hunt for Easter! I've hidden it somewhere on my playbook page for 25% off....

Want more comments without begging for them? Hide a discount in a mini Easter egg hunt. This @chartosaur post turns a dry data-visualization course into a game where the prize is 25% off and the admission price is a single comment.

What’s happening in the images

First three slides: fun data-visual examples (averages vs distributions, data vs flow, raw bars vs differences). Final slide: a stack of “Presenting with Data” playbook layers, then the hook—“The Playbook is 25% off for Easter, but I hid the discount code somewhere on my site. Comment PLAYBOOK and I’ll give you a clue.” Education first, offer last, game on top.

Why hiding the discount explodes comments

  • Curiosity: a hidden code feels like a puzzle, not a promo, so people lean in instead of scrolling past.
  • Commitment: commenting PLAYBOOK is a tiny action that psychologically nudges people closer to buying.
  • Scarcity + effort: a time-bound 25% off that requires a hunt feels more valuable than a loud, easy coupon.
  • Algorithm boost: every “PLAYBOOK” comment is free distribution, which sells more playbooks at the same discount.

How to steal this for your own product

Course creators logo

Course creators can hide a bonus lesson or discount link on one lesson page and tell people in a post to comment COURSE for a hint.

Shopify stores logo

Shopify stores can tuck a secret coupon code on a random product page and tease it on Instagram with comment SECRET for the first clue.

What I dislike more than AI Slop is what I call "AI Foam".

It's when generally smart, insightful people send you something that is clearly AI generated and lacks their usual sharp insight or point of view.

AI slop is easy to ignore because it's often just random people posting random stuff online -- often as content or comments.

AI foam is more insidious because these are people you *know* and respect and you know they're capable of critical thinking and clear communication.
