What makes a Shorts hook work
The generator writes with these in mind, so what you copy is ready to use.

The first seconds
Viewers swipe quickly in the Shorts feed. The hook has to make them stay past the opening.

Text on screen
A few words on screen make the hook work with the sound off, and give the Short a clear topic.
