In my experience, the Instagram algorithm is much more friendly to original content where you’re the one on the screen whereas YouTube shorts almost all of the videos that I’ve posted on my YouTube shorts and I grew my YouTube account from 20 K to 60 K subscribers in six months almost all the videos on YouTube shorts that went viral on my page were things that already went viral on Instagram and don’t have to do with my face So basically, Instagram equals friendly to original content YouTube short shorts equals only friendly to already Viral clips

I’ll say it over and over again until your ears bleed but in 2 years of posting content i have never found a more effective video type for gaining followers than “Day X of explaining X instructionals”

7k followers. 6.5 million views in 30 days. All of this came from trial reels. Let me knownif you want a deeper explanation

I notice the more text i put on the screen the better the video does. And especially if im talking about something controversial where other people and put their opinions in the comment section it does insanely well
