Hold rate

How many of the people who watched the opening kept watching – ThruPlays (or 6-second views) ÷ 3-second views.

Hold rate measures the body of the ad: once the hook worked, does the story keep people? A high hook rate with a low hold rate usually means the opening promised something the rest of the ad doesn't deliver.
