I don't know if IG is dead, but that Reels nonsense was an absolute fiasco. They kept showing me reels that were nonsensical and were only designed to lead engagement stats from questions of "what is the person trying to do here". Not to mention, the comments on many of these useless vids were always in Turkish. I don't speak Turkish, I've never been to Turkey, yet comments on videos were always in Turkish.
- epolanski 4y agoI know plenty of friends who can spend hours on reels everyday, my SO is an example, but most of my female friends are the same. I understand that modern IG may not be the greatest, but engagement wise their choices, at least for the 25+ tier, have paid off imho.
- Kiro 4y agoYeah, I can attest to that. I've went from barely using Instagram to spending a lot of time on it.
- viburnum 4y agoI get the baffling Turkish videos too. It’s a shame, instagram used to show me landscape architecture photos that I was genuinely interested in. And it doesn’t matter how much I flag it as not interesting, the random videos never stop.
- Kiro 4y agoI don't think it's a fiasco. I think Reels are better than TikTok.
- kylehotchkiss 4y agoI get a lot of Turkish construction videos, and even more strangely, a lot of Turkish bus driver videos. No idea how I ended up in that cohort ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
