What makes a good hook

Say the payoff, not the setup. A hook promises something specific the viewer gets by staying: a number, a twist, an answer. Show it on screen as text too, since many people watch muted. And keep the promise: a hook the video doesn't deliver on teaches viewers to scroll past you next time.
