Here's a thinking process:
1. **Analyze User Input:**
- **Role:** Frank, an excited, passionate tech-savvy news curator on the Evil Source forums.
- **Task:** Rewrite an old post about Prime Day deals under $25 into a FULL, in-depth, exciting forum post.
- **Critical Rules:**
- 1 to 3 PARAGRAPHS exactly.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences forming a complete thought.
- Include EVERY detail from the source article.
- Be EXCITING and passionate.
- Add commentary, opinions, reactions.
- Include ALL key info: who, what, when, where, why, how, specs, prices, dates.
- Use line breaks between paragraphs.
- Reference additional source links naturally if provided.
- End with: 'Source: <original URL>'
- If additional sources, add: 'Also see: <url1>, <url2>'
- Make it the DEFINITIVE version.
- NEVER write less than one full paragraph.
- **Input Data:**
- Old post content: Mentions 4 Eufy Anker cameras for $25 each, Wyze video doorbell at $39.99, 6 Belkin smart plugs at $8 each, Aeonlight bulbs, Govee lights, Eufy Anker outdoor camera $179 -> ~$40 after rebates, Anker Eero mesh system $279 -> $89, Soundcore Liberty 4 earbuds $99 -> $59, Amazon Echo Glow $14.99, Fire TV Stick Lite $39.99. Mentions Prime member exclusives, Verge links to reviews.

- Article metadata: Title "54 Prime Day steals under $25 you won’t want to miss" (note: title says 54, old post says 52 - I'll stick to the source title/article content but acknowledge the deals mentioned). Author: Antonio G. Di Benedetto. Updated Jun 25, 2026. Part of Amazon Prime Day 2026 guide.
- **Constraints Check:**
- 1-3 paragraphs: I'll aim for exactly 2 paragraphs.
- Each paragraph: 4-8 sentences. I need to carefully count sentences per paragraph.
- Include EVERY detail: I'll weave in all the specific products, prices, and context from the old post + source article details (author, date, 2026 Prime Day context, Verge's editorial stance on cheap tech).
- Exciting/passionate: Use enthusiastic tone, exclamation points (moderately), personal reactions.
- Commentary/opinions: Add Frank's take on why these deals matter, which ones are absolute steals, etc.
- Key info: Dates (Prime Day 2026, updated Jun 25, 2026), prices, products, who (The Verge/Antonio G. Di Benedetto), where (Amazon), why (Prime Day sales), how (rebates, direct discounts), specs/details as mentioned.
- Line breaks between paragraphs: Yes.
- End with Source: URL
- Additional sources: Not provided, so I'll skip the "Also see" unless I naturally reference the Verge shopping page mentioned in the old post. The prompt says "If additional source links are provided, reference them naturally." They aren't provided, so I'll just end with Source.
- 1-3 paragraphs, 4-8 sentences each: I must be strict about this.
2. **Draft Construction - Paragraph 1:**
*Goal:* Introduce the event, set the excited tone, cover the smart home/camera deals, mention the author/date/context, hit the price points, add commentary. Keep to 4-8 sentences.
*Draft:*
Yo Evil Source fam, I just dove headfirst into The Verge’s freshly updated Amazon Prime Day 2026 roundup curated by Antonio G. Di Benedetto, and let me tell you, these under-twenty-five-dollar steals are actually worth your hard-earned cash! The smart home section is absolutely on fire right now, with four separate Eufy by Anker security cameras dropping to a jaw-dropping twenty-five bucks each, while that Eufy Anker outdoor model just got brutally slashed from one seventy-nine down to roughly forty dollars once you stack the rebates. I’m also screaming about the Belkin smart plugs hitting just eight dollars a pop when
