Question hooks
Question hooks work because people want to answer questions. When you challenge conventional wisdom, you create controversy. Not because they're smart—because they're human and want to see if their beliefs are wrong. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to challenge beliefs. The "is the conventional wisdom wrong" hook does exactly that—it makes people question what they know.
