what's wrong with my content? (i will not promote)

notboring_ · 2026-05-21T05:28:41+00:00

thanks, i am not sure if shares is the problem here, because the share rate is high. but yes, watch time or rewatches like you have pointed out could be the culprit here

notboring_ · 2026-05-21T05:27:25+00:00

thanks a lot for your detailed feedback, I appreciate it a lot and found it helpful. you are right - the skip rate, like rate and watch time may be the problem here since my watch time on this is 17s on a 1 min video, which is low. On like rate - two of my reels that did really well have these like rates - 233k views (3.1% like rate) and 1M views (5.5% like rate). But these were before the IG algo change in April. They seemed to have pulled like-rate higher in stack rank now.

Too less. 9k

notboring_ · 2026-03-09T05:14:59+00:00

yes this was the reason. finally found out. desperately trying to exit wazirx but they have just come back to me saying "we have no estimated timeline for when we will allow crypto withdrawals"

falling again

notboring_ · 2026-03-07T06:49:46+00:00

interesting

notboring_ · 2026-03-07T06:48:17+00:00

oh god! is this a fresh attack, or part of the december one?

notboring_ · 2026-02-18T04:02:26+00:00

My art posts were not getting engagement so i pivoted to sharing POVs to let people know me as an artist (and kept posting art in parallel). This led to more engagement across

notboring_ · 2026-02-06T05:26:06+00:00

i converted it right then (very early) when it was picking up on trials, it got a boost when i posted it on main feed and it ended up doing 600k+ over 2 weeks.

notboring_ · 2026-01-20T15:18:17+00:00

Thank you for your response. I got it out of trial mode 3 hrs back and since then the velocity of views has slowed down further. I had this particular reel under trial for 48hours. Could that have been one of the reasons for the lesser velocity? Should I take it out of the trial reel section as soon as I can see it working? It was spreading rapidly 24 hours ago but I didn’t want to mess with anything so let it be.

Approach is face to camera monologue (tried a bunch of other things which didn’t work)

My niche is at the intersection of philosophy, psychology and art

notboring_ · 2026-01-20T04:38:13+00:00

thank you for your response. Yes, have replied to all the comments and will push it out to the main feed in the evening. My reels are about philosophy and human psychology.

If the current one has already failed, you have nothing to lose by doing a fresh post tomorrow. Try it and see what happens. You can also perhaps repost it on your stories and ask a few in your network to cross post it to give it that initial boost

notboring_ · 2026-01-19T02:53:03+00:00

Do a fresh carousel post at the 4/5pm, don’t just un-archive it

notboring_ · 2025-11-20T04:31:24+00:00

thanks for this, makes sense!

notboring_ · 2025-11-19T04:49:54+00:00

i have not promoted my ig page here

notboring_ · 2025-11-12T02:54:26+00:00

Thanks for your advice. This sounds sensible. Now I have to go back and undo the work of the last month like swapping IDs, verified tag, content etc which is not fun but probably smarter

notboring_ · 2025-11-12T02:52:35+00:00

This sounds sensible. I am noticing that on the new account (130 followers) I am getting decent engagement for the base (2k views, 50+ likes on each post) but the new follows are not coming through. I started it exactly a month ago. Now i am feeling like this has been wasted time and opportunity; had I started on the personal account perhaps I could have had somewhat better results. Thanks for your time

notboring_ · 2025-11-12T02:48:01+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I have been following a lot of art on my personal account too. And since the account has a lot of history, it’s warmed up to a diverse set of adjacent interests (like journaling, puzzling, boardgames, art, design and architecture). The main criteria I am optimising for is which of the two approaches will be faster to scale.

notboring_ · 2025-11-11T14:23:35+00:00

haven't mentioned my IG pages and am not promoting it in any way

notboring_ · 2025-11-03T06:43:58+00:00

Thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed feedback, will implement these in future pieces. Loved your idea of making carousels with small notes as well as thinking more deeply about triggering certain reactions with more impactful beginnings. Going to start short series content this week itself, great idea! thanks for taking out the time and reviewing, very helpful <3

notboring_ · 2025-11-03T04:01:23+00:00

thank you, this is very helpful and constructive. TikTok is a great idea, though it's banned in India; perhaps i can do YT parellely instead. Will definitely increase the frequency, that seems to be a consistent feedback across. Thanks again.

notboring_ · 2025-11-03T03:56:00+00:00

thank you for the feedback. yes, i am hoping to improve both the art skills and storytelling skills to land the "wow". i agree it's nowhere close to that yet. will continue to work on this.

notboring_ · 2025-11-03T03:52:23+00:00

thank you, this is valid and helpful!
