You're right, those first 3 seconds are crucial! From what I've seen, the hooks that really work across Reels, Shorts, and TikToks tend to be ones that either spark curiosity, offer a bold statement, or create immediate emotional connection.​

A strong visual or a bold question works best in the first 3 seconds. something that immediately grabs attention and makes viewers curious to watch the rest.

"...What if I told you..." curiosity hook seems to start an awful lot of videos these days, especially those written by AI. You can open with that, to discuss any problem from the discovery angle, as it implies you have a solution most folks don't know about.

Questions work well—people stop to think or answer.

Videos that start with disappointment. Like a group of freshly made pottery bowls falling down or breaking something. This kinda initial hooks tend to catch audience eyes and they even perform well in terms of the watch time.
