Present evolution
Old vs new is just comparison with better evolution
It works because it hits three triggers: evolution, comparison, and urgency. The old creates comparison. The new creates evolution. The dead creates urgency. People see "The old way is dead. Here's the new approach" and think: "I don't want to be outdated. I want to see the new way." They click because old vs new feels urgent—even when the old way is still effective. It's not about being clever—it's about making change feel necessary.

Comparison Hooks work because people love contrast. When you show old vs new, you show evolution. Not because they're smart—because they're human and want to stay current. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to show change. The "old way vs new way" hook does exactly that—it makes evolution feel necessary.
