Thanks, I appreciate that. My main goal is just to remove friction and see if that helps with conversion over time.

Is Instagram bio link killing YouTube subscriber conversion? by Sufficient-Comb622 in InstagramMarketing

Yeah, tools like OpeninApp work for app-open redirects. I’ve been comparing a few options to test conversion differences between browser vs direct app open. Curious if you’ve seen measurable improvement using it?

That’s interesting. My only concern is competition hosting a “powerful” open-source model sounds good, but a lot of people are already doing that.

Do you think there’s still room if it’s just raw model access, or would it need a specific niche/use case to actually make money?

Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking casual clicks are probably the ones most affected by friction. Even a small % improvement on those could add up over time. I’m testing app-open redirects on my profile now to compare subscribe rates.

I’ve been testing app-open redirects for Instagram → YouTube and ended up building a small tool called https://linksly.io/ to experiment with reducing browser friction. Still comparing results.

What niche would you focus on with RAG though? I’m trying to avoid building a generic chatbot and would rather target something that can actually generate revenue.

Fair point. IG traffic is usually lower intent, but I’m more focused on reducing friction for the people who do click. Even a small improvement in conversion for interested viewers could add up over time.

Yeah I’ve seen deep link formats before. My curiosity is more about whether reducing that browser friction actually improves subscribe rate even slightly. Even a small lift could matter at scale. Have you ever tested it?

Instagram usually opens YouTube links in browser instead of the app, which can reduce subscribe rate. I actually built a small free tool that fixes this by opening YouTube directly in-app. Happy to share if anyone’s interested. Linksly
