What's actually working for me in hooks lately

Been messing with different hook styles the past couple of weeks and a few are just landing way harder than the rest. Sharing in case anyone else is experimenting.

What's working for me right now:

• Unpopular opinion openers: "Unpopular opinion: cold outreach isn't dead, you're just doing it wrong." People can't help themselves, they have to argue in the comments.
• A specific mistake I made: "I cost a client a $30K retainer because of one line in a proposal." The specificity is what pulls people in, not the drama.
• Short confession: "I've been on LinkedIn for 9 years and I just figured out the obvious thing." Humility beats authority about 2:1 for me lately.

Nothing scientific, just what I'm seeing in my own analytics. What's working for you? Curious if anyone's finding the opposite.
