Instagram has given a big shock to its millions of creators. The social media platform has suddenly changed the policy for those sharing videos and reels. Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram and Threads, has given this information in his post. Due to change in the policy of the video and photo sharing platform which is very popular among the youth, the quality of the videos of the users will be reduced. For this, changes have been made in Instagram's algorithm.
Instagram's revenge algorithm
Responding to a user's question in his thread post, Adam Mosseri said that Instagram has an algorithm that degrades the quality of older videos that are less popular or have more views. The user asked Adam in his question that the video quality of his old story, which has been saved as a highlight, is very bad. In response to this question, Adam has told about this policy of Instagram.
This algorithm of Instagram will especially harm those users who have less followers. The quality of the video stories and reels of those creators and users will reduce because the views of their stories and reels will be less compared to creators with more followers, due to which the views will also be less. However, this will not happen with freshly uploaded videos. This algorithm of Instagram will work for videos that are a few days or a few weeks old.
Loss to small creators
After getting information about this policy of Instagram, many creators have raised questions on it. Responding to users' questions on threads, Adam said that this algorithm on Instagram works at the aggregate level, not at the individual viewer level. Our policy is to provide high quality videos from creators who receive more views. Many users opposed this policy of Instagram and said that in such a situation it will be very difficult for small creators to compete with big creators.
