[ SLANG ][ CREATOR ]
The gradual, unintentional weakening of a creator's opening hooks over time as habits settle into a comfortable but less effective pattern.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"His hook drift crept in over months, nobody noticed the openings had gotten weaker until the numbers finally showed it."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named for the slow, unnoticed decline distinct from a deliberate hook refresh cycle, describing decay rather than active maintenance.
