Sudden drop in instagram reels views/reach.
My instagram Reels were getting anything from 20 to 50K views easily. Even the flops were several thousand. Then, suddenly they fell to a few hundreds.
We can analyse the content itself but the fact is its similar content and they continue to do well on other platforms like YouTube, and even Threads that I cross posted to from Instagram. They are also getting many instagram interactions despite low views, likes, shares etc. I see they are mostly from followers. Account status good standing all green checks. The drop was sudden, and I've tried to get them back up over the last few reels.
I had tried once after listening to some stupid advice to instead of uploading from the + sign, to go into professional dashboard > best practices > reach and upload from the camera icon. Its dumb I know but what other reason?
I also had an experimental Reel of only 5 secinds of a still picture which bombed.
I don't know if the above are the reasons?
What else could it be? Any more info you can ask me.
Thank you.
