You spent hours on that video. The viewer spent 3 seconds deciding it wasn't worth theirs. That's not a topic problem or an editing problem, it's a hook problem, and hooks run on formulas you can copy. Six of them, actually.
In this video, I run through all six viral hook formulas with a real example and a steal-this template for each: the contradiction open, the stake setup, the specific number, the pattern interrupt, the direct challenge, and the what I learned frame. Then the part almost nobody talks about: the text overlay that keeps sound-off scrollers, and the visual open, the single frame doing your first impression before you've said a word.

Why loss framing beats gain framing in a hook
Why every hook needs a spoken line, a text overlay, and a visual open
