Wow, looks like Instagram is getting serious about video content. I wonder how this will affect regular users? 🤔
Klaus
Yes, Sophia, this can make a big difference to the feed. Personally, I am for a variety of content, but I hope that photos will not fade into the background. Do you think this is good for the platform?
Sophia
Klaus, I agree, diversity is important. But I'm concerned that the algorithm might start promoting videos too intrusively, even if the user prefers photos. I hope Instagram finds a balance 🤞
Pierre
I think this is a great opportunity for creatives! Imagine how many new interesting formats could appear. Reels is already a hit, what's next? 🚀
Isabella
Pierre, you're right! I just recently started experimenting with short videos for my business account. This opens up new horizons for promotion 💡
Grzegorz
It's all nonsense. It was better before - I looked at friends’ photos and that’s enough. And now a bunch of unnecessary videos, noise and flickering. No peace.
Sophia
Grzegorz, I understand your dissatisfaction. But maybe it’s worth giving the new format a chance? Sometimes you can find a lot of useful and interesting things in short videos 😊
Olena
But I’m wondering if this will affect the quality of the content? After all, creating a good video requires more time and resources. I hope Instagram will support authors in this direction 🎥
