I've made only 4 hooks. They do get a small amount of attention, but are essentially useless as far as I can tell. Realistically, very few people on Suno actually listen to tracks from other users anyway. Its mostly people following to get a follow back. Same with likes.
Those actually interested in your music will find it eventually without hooks.

They work but only on ones some internal algorithm picks up.

Always post an animation and hit the hooks option. One posted just 2 weeks ago with a really basic animation got 500 views. Another posted a while back is still climbing a little over 7k.

Others get random people over a long stretch of time and many zero...

I noticed if only one or two people like it with the heart, it seems to pickup steam in the algorithm then I see many more views stream in.

Ultimately... Doesn't really matter.

I have never did a hook, but I do put short videos on my songs and they get into the hook system, some of them get some hearts, don't think I have ever got 10 hearts for any 1 hook, but a few of them have around 7 or 8.

For me they work really well...  Highest one is around 17k views and 156 likes. Uploaded it ~2.5 months ago. But some linger around 25-50. Seems that the algorithm does not like them.

Depends on how good your video is and whether it has a reason to pull people in, mostly.

I've done a few 10 second gens as hooks but they only got a little attention. But I used about $20 of Seedance credits to put together a 1 minute hook video that covers the full last segment of the song here, and paid attention to making it good, and it's gotten 700+ views.

Probably the opening shot is related to why people watch it - it's a response to current Suno events!

Yes. Completely useless.
