[@hellome12345]

What i hate the most about the explore page is that all of the accounts that hit the page are accounts with 10k or 100k followers, and i almost never see posts on there from smaller accounts, even if their account has 500 photos and theyre all themed around what im interested in. Its a totally biased page that just helps big accounts get bigger

[@kerenmaving]

So annoying

[@artist.chantal]

Same!! It's very gross! That tells me they faver paid Influencers

[@SoyChristineSalazar]

OMG yes!!

[@foreigntay_]

Not true. I’ve been on the explore page with only 4000 followers & I’m no influencer. Just GOOD QUALITY pictures that bring good engagement.

[@kaileyfry]

The explore page does it based off what popular in the categories you engage with. I'm in the alternative community and we all are on the explore page eventually. It's all about quality of posts.

[@CopperCactusDIY]

[@clarenorris3083]

Millie thank you so much as always. I value your content so much. immediately after watching this I set to separating my personal stuff off my business account, and created a personal profile specifically for those personal things. I also updated my business account bio and jammed it pack full of key words! This brings me a lot of hope for further reach and growth. Thank you and you are valuable and appreciated 🙏

[@uncledavidrecording]

You did a good job of explaining the algorithms. It closely matches my observations as a user and filled in some blanks as a creator. Thank you.

Love this! Do you have a video already on using a personal account and a brand account? I've been struggling with how to use the two - though my brand is a bit more corporate brand and less of me personally (though I'm still in it!)

Millie - thanks for your helpful (and humorous) information. Here's a suggestion for a video: many of us produce content for say RUclips, and want to spread it on IG and Facebook etc. What's the best way to do this? I make my videos on Invideo which has a share feature. Is this the best way, or do you have some tips for us?

hi millie
I made IG fresh account 2 months back...Started with faceless reels..Reach was amazing back then..Then faced some android glitches like after uploading audio couldnt be heared and all. I deleted few reels as I dint know I shouldnt delete them.Since then reach has gone down.Also IG algorithm has changed as well.Now I have turned to reels with my face. Should I continue with this account or make a new account? Hope deleting reels initially and shifting from faceless reels to face reels hasnt effected my reach and growth of account.I am really confused😐
