hooksmaxxing

Hooksmaxxing is when a social media creator becomes dangerously obsessed with writing the perfect opening line for a post.

Symptoms include deleting 47 drafts, turning normal thoughts into dramatic life lessons, and believing every sentence should sound like it was whispered by a billionaire in a dark room.

Example:

“He was just posting about going for a walk, but after hooksmaxxing it became: ‘I took 3,000 steps today and realised why most founders fail.’”

LinkedIn creators have a special knack for this.
Bro spent 45 minutes hooksmaxxing a post about his morning walk and somehow turned it into “Most founders are one bad habit away from bankruptcy.”

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
