Who leans on it hardest

Volume and commitment are different questions. These are the advertisers for whom it is the largest share of their own library, rather than the ones who simply run the most ads overall.

Every hook type in the library by volume; this page's in orange.

Hook type is a model-assigned classification rather than a platform-reported field, and it sits on roughly half the library. Counts are of the ads that carried it. Every figure is a count from the analysed creatives, not an estimate. There is no spend, impression or performance data in the source and none is inferred.
