Let’s face it: not everyone spends their Instagram hours exclusively glued to Reels like a moth to a flame. While the world is busy scrolling through 15-second bursts of dance challenges and cats in costumes, let’s not forget that the good ol’ Feed and Stories are still hanging around like a friendly shadow.
A recent study revealed a staggering statistic: less than 1% of Facebook users and about 5% of Instagram users indulged in Reels without occasionally glancing at their friends’ carefully curated brunch pics or pet selfies in the Feed. That’s right, while Reels may be the shiny new toy, most users still want to see what their pals are up to.
So, what does this mean for the future of Instagram? Well, it looks like the Feed and Stories are sticking around for a while, like that one relative who keeps crashing holiday dinners. You can’t *just* live on reels—there’s a whole buffet of content waiting, and it’s still fundamental to the Instagram experience.
So, will Reels eventually take over the platform? Or will it always be a delightful side dish to the main course of social connection provided by the Feed and Stories? Let’s chew on that!
