    It’s so funny watching every platform think the other has it all figured out. TikTok tries to get people to film long-form vertical videos and YouTube encourages their “shorts” feature…

      The goal of every platform is to hold the user there for 100% of their screen time.

      If they leave to do something, anything, else, they have failed.

      reels were the absolute downfall of instagram. Compared to pre-reels it’s such a shithole now.

          it wasn’t. It was just a place where people shared pictures. The algorithm actually worked, recommended you accounts that you followed and liked and that was it.

          Reels came out and that went sideways. The algorithm started pushing nothing but shitty meme accounts and the ads are nothing but ‘coaches’ talking about ‘scaling’ (yeah dude, some account with 30 followers totally convinces me that you can do that)
