You do rely on an algorithms on the story feed and main feed.
Reels are kinda misplaced. They are so short but require so much navigation. Why not just post a short video. Ig live videos are more important and need the first class treatment (a seperate search, a ig live discovery page)
Simple video activity isn't enough to establish interestingness in our experience. We'd like to screen "dead" live streams out of lists, but I think there's an easier, social, solution to that problem.
If everyone is videoing and sharing you could crowdsource your own responses. Use some smart AI to trawl other video from the same time and assemble the "me" reel.
To post a video as a non-reel the standard workaround is also putting a picture in the same post. You’ll see some creators with an image that just says “anti-reels slide”.
Thanks David. I agree (esp about the nuggets obv ;) It's a slog going through slide decks and on the few occasions that people have uploaded videos it's hard to make the time to watch them. Is there a "Pocket for Video"?
I agree this can be a bit annoying, some artists/bands have better results than others. I'll look into sorting out videos that appear as duplicates and replacing them with more videos. Thanks for the feedback.
