Social media hook:
What Do You Think Happened?
Question format invites audience to engage and share predictions.
What do you think creates participation
"What do you think happened" works because it invites predictions. People think: "They want me to predict. I want to see if I'm right." It's participation wrapped in prediction.
Plus, think creates investment. When you say "I tried this for a month, what do you think happened?" you're making people think and guess. People invest in predictions they make. They click because what do you think feels engaging—even when the outcome is predictable.
What do you think is just question with better participation
It works because it hits three triggers: participation, prediction, and investment. The what do you think creates participation. The happened creates prediction. The I tried creates investment. People see "I tried this for a month, what do you think happened?" and think: "I want to guess. I want to see if I'm right." They click because what do you think feels engaging—even when the outcome is obvious. It's not about being clever—it's about making questions feel participatory.
