Social media hook:
This forgotten
Creates information gaps that can only be satisfied by engaging with your content.
Forgotten methods create curiosity
"This forgotten [method] outperforms everything else" works because it promises overlooked solutions. People think: "The method is forgotten but outperforms. I want to see what it is." It's curiosity wrapped in rediscovery.
Plus, forgotten creates value. When you say "This forgotten method outperforms everything else I've tried," you're positioning information as overlooked. People want forgotten methods that work. They click because forgotten methods feel valuable—even when the method is standard.
Forgotten methods are just techniques with better rediscovery
It works because it hits three triggers: rediscovery, curiosity, and value. The forgotten creates rediscovery. The method creates curiosity. The outperforms creates value. People see "This forgotten method outperforms everything else I've tried" and think: "I want to know that forgotten method. It outperforms everything." They click because forgotten methods feel valuable—even when the method is just marketing. It's not about being clever—it's about making methods feel rediscovered.
