Here's five controversial rules that we had at our wedding recently... the no taking pictures kind of hints at the last slide — oh by the way I had the guests use the POV app. It's part of a storyline rather than saying hey go download this thing.

Embed the App Into a Storyline Instead of Saying "Link in Bio" — Authentic Placement Converts on FYP

POV, a disposable camera app, went viral by embedding the product reveal inside wedding stories: five controversial rules, one of which required guests to use the app. By the time the audience reached the app mention, they were emotionally invested in the narrative and the product demonstration was natural. Joseph's rule: on the FYP where there's no pre-existing trust, any 'Link in Bio'-style CTA kills virality. The product has to feel like the organic resolution to the story, not a commercial break.
