Deep dives
Reels views have decreased due to supply and demand
According to a study from Metricle, there has been a significant decrease in the number of views received by Instagram reels. In 2022, the average number of views per reel was over 20,000, but in 2023, it dropped to less than 4,500, representing a 75% decrease. The main reason behind this decline is the imbalance between supply and demand. People are posting 30-90% more reels each month in 2023, creating a higher supply of content. However, the demand for reels has not significantly changed, resulting in a decrease in views for individual reels.
The importance of improving reel quality
To maintain viewership, it is crucial to constantly improve the quality of reels. Reels that have not shown improvement in quality are more likely to lose viewers. It is necessary to adapt to the changing preferences of social media algorithms and audiences by creating more engaging and captivating content. Factors such as hooks, storytelling, and call-to-action play a significant role in enhancing reel quality. Neglecting the continuous improvement of content quality can result in a decrease in views.
The rise of non-reel posts for Instagram growth
In order to combat the declining engagement and views on reels, it is recommended to focus on non-reel posts, such as photos and carousels. Recent data suggests that non-reel posts have actually been receiving more reach and interactions in 2023 compared to 2022. By repurposing successful reels into non-reel posts, users can take advantage of the lower competition and increased visibility. Having a healthy mix of reels and non-reels in an Instagram strategy can lead to better growth and engagement.
