## What makes a hook viral?

1**Negative Bias:** Humans are wired to avoid pain. Hooks that warn about "Mistakes" or "Stopping an action" often outperform positive ones.

2**Curiosity Gaps:** Opening with a "Secret" or a "Hidden Hack" creates an information loop that the viewer needs to close by watching the full video.

3**The 3-Second Rule:** TikTok's algorithm prioritizes "Watch Time." If you don't grab them in 3 seconds, they scroll, and your reach dies.
