I had no idea where these reels were that everyone was talking about! Thanks for clarifying Claire.

Ok so it’s pretty low key at the moment if it’s just under media tab, glad they’re not filling up our feeds, although I’m sure I’ll be browsing reels when I fancy it, which feels kinda fun!

This was really helpful! 💮

I'm hating the "Reels" tab, to be honest. I don't like that format in general, and as far as I can tell, there's no way to choose a category or anything -- they're just shoving everything at me, and it's really unpleasant.

I'm all for discoverability, but if I enter a space and I can't curate my experience, I'm OUT.

I'm not a drone to be used to mindlessly consume what they want to sell or promote.

I hope they at least give people some control over what type/category of thing we want to see.

So glad it connected for you. Yes we don’t have to press that button. I love IG reels and until there’s a seismic shift I’ll get my short form video content there ✨✨

Since I'm starting to publish some video posts, I'm considering sharing clips to notes, and see what happens. I'm definitely not going to go there to watch stuff, but since it seems many people enjoy the format, I'm thinking why not. I'll experiment and see what happens, I don't have anything to lose, right? 😊

Thanks for explaining. I defo don't think I'll be doing reels anytime soon. Nice for event videos I guess. Your B roll is such a cute idea. Venn diagram is a top tip
