<b>5 pattern interrupts that earn the next three seconds</b>

The feed trains people to skip. These openers break the rhythm enough to buy attention:

— Starting mid-argument: "No, I'm not doing that again, here's why." Drops you into a story already moving.
— A wrong-looking number on screen that the voiceover corrects. The error itself is the hook.
— Silence with bold text, then a sudden cut to talking. The contrast wakes a scrolling brain.
— A countdown that starts at 2, not 10. Implies you missed the start, so you stay.

🔥 Pick of the week: the corrected error. People can't resist watching a mistake get explained, and the correction smuggles in your core claim. Cheap to shoot, brutal on hold-rate when the fix is genuinely surprising.
