No, but it is amazing first sentence. Everybody goes, this story is specifically for me, I'm very special.

  I read the piece (and enjoyed it) despite the first sentence. I’ve become increasingly sensitive to this kind of fluff. It’s not a hook, it’s bad read-bait.

    Half the time I read the stories they're just a thinly disguised ad for some flavor the day SaaS, so at least in this instance the hook was somewhat useful. Now if everyone uses this to shill their SaaS, then maybe not.

    Well then you are very special. Introverts hate this one weird trick!
