Hook Rate (or "Thumb-Stop Rate") is the percentage of people who watch the first three seconds of your video, with a healthy benchmark being 30% or higher. The primary goal is to interrupt the user's automated "Scroll Trance" before they swipe away, as the first three seconds are not an introduction, but the admission ticket. To win, editors must use a "Pattern Interrupt", such as a sudden movement or controversial text overlay, in the very first frame to force the brain into active attention.
