FB pushes you to Insta via its Reels preview videos right on top when you open the FB app.
Instagram Reels is more addicting - full screen videos that just show you more of what you watch most intently, doesn't care that you "liked" a page 5 years ago.
Zuck is depreciating FB.
- skrtskrt 5y agoReels is probably >90% recycled from TikTok, with the TikTok video waterwark still on it. The original content that is there has nothing on TikTok, and the Reels recommendation algorithm is crap - feels like a bunch of if-then statements and you have to make a massive effort to get yourself out of having a particular category in your feed (constantly swipe away as fast as possible if a video of that category comes up; but watch a single video all the way through in that category and it becomes half of your feed) I joined TikTok recently after watching Reels for a few months (I figured it's probably just as good, right and why have yet another app tracking me), and I was blown away by how much better TikTok content & algorithm is. Part of it is the user base. TikTok has truly some cool content for every niche you could imagine, and by and large comments are positive and funny.
