I know Kanam won't make this post herself, so I'm going to make it for her. She just made a Carousel post about 48 hours ago, and within that time, it's already passed 12,000 likes, which is fucking crazy!! I'll include a link here to show you guys what the Carousel post example looks like. It's nothing fancy; there's no secret to it. It's just a really strong hook with wonderful delivery and a beautiful mixture of Kanam. Also, give Kanam a huge shout-out. This is a big win for her, especially since it's extremely aligned with her personal brand and not some cheap trend that is going to pass in a few weeks. Good job, Kanam; we're all rooting for you!

Hi guys, I've been working on something big in the background, and I haven't really talked about it yet because I'm not really sure how to go around explaining this system in the right way. I want your honest feedback and to figure out a way, if there is a way, that I could maybe implement these tools and these features for you guys. Let me know what you think. xoxo, jordan

@Natalie Griffen Is killing it with her new page, Great Job News, with the level of consistency, branding, and output. She's really getting some good engagement over the last few weeks. Just wanted to shout out Nat, congratulate her on the results, and the consistency!!

so instagram has been shifting how it measures engagement and I wanted to share what's actually happening with the algorithm in 2026 the big change: watch time is now one of the primary signals the algorithm looks at, it used to be that 4-7 seconds of viewing was enough to tell the algorithm your content was performing well, now they're looking for sustained viewing, meaning how long people actually stay on your content matters more than before the other shift is around engagement types, saves and shares are now weighted more heavily than likes, and surface-level comments like "nice!" or "love this!" aren't being counted as meaningful interactions the way they used to be basically instagram is trying to reward content that holds attention and gets people to take deeper actions like saving it for later or sending it to a friend curious if any of you have noticed this in your own analytics, are you seeing different patterns with what's getting pushed lately?

what do you guys think? Basically I am going through the visual mastery module and trying to upgrade my game with old footage. I was hoping to use after effects in the very last clip and make the white background a melting painting but it really drives me crazy and rotoscoping isn't working properly (?) ... this is only in Premiere.
