Comparison hooks
Comparison Hooks work because people love contrast. When you show expectation vs reality, you create a gap they want to understand. Not because they're smart—because they're human and want to see if their assumptions are right. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to show difference. The "expectation vs reality" hook does exactly that—it promises to reveal the truth behind assumptions.
