What makes a hook viral?

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

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.

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.

These hook templates are optimized for high-velocity short-form video platforms where attention is the primary currency.
