Why these Shorts hooks work

• They land the hook in the first second — the single biggest driver of Shorts retention.
• They're built around what tech enthusiasts already stop for, not generic templates.
• Each loops or pays off fast, so viewers rewatch — and rewatches count as views.

FAQ

How long should a Tech Short be?

Long enough to deliver the hook's promise and loop — often 15-35s. Cut anything that delays the payoff.
