X (Twitter) Video Hooks for Founders: Controversial Openings That Drive Engagement
X rewards founders who have opinions. Not performance controversy — real contrarian takes backed by experience. These hooks open with a position your audience wants to argue with or share, which is exactly what drives X's algorithm.
