Show comparison or dual perspective
Split screen is just comparison with better visual
It works because it hits three triggers: comparison, visual, and engagement. The split creates comparison. The screen creates visual. The side-by-side creates engagement. People see a split screen and think: "I can compare these directly. This is interesting." They click because split screen feels engaging—even when the comparison is standard. It's not about being clever—it's about making comparisons feel visual.

Visual Hooks work because people are visual creatures. When you use split screen, you create comparison. Not because they're smart—because they're human and want to see contrasts. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to show comparison. The "split screen" hook does exactly that—it makes comparisons feel visual.
