The Re-Hook Cadence
Industry term · Micro-Hook Cadence (Re-Hooking)
Why this matters
The hook you filmed for second one wears off — the videos that hold to the end re-hook on a schedule.
Attention fades on a curve, not a cliff — planned micro-hooks reset it before it dies.

Why it works
Attention doesn't vanish at once — it decays on a curve, sagging gradually until any excuse ends the view. Micro-hooks placed on a cadence reset the curve before it bottoms out, which is why well-paced videos feel effortless to finish.
