My reach stats are 785 followers vs. 15k non-followers and 13k of that is from reels. I hate this. I'm not an entertainer, I'm not a teacher, I don't want to give anyone tips or tricks. I just want to show my art. It annoys me no end that I have to make reels or see no growth.

Well that percentage means your acc is growing so congrats! But yeah it’s annoying because they are forcing us to be someone we aren’t as you say. I hope you find some balance there

@@AlaiGanuza The "funny" thing is that it's not growing... The reel-to-follower conversion rate is very low in my case and I've been hovering around 3.1k for ages now. I'm not too mad about that because it means I'm not losing followers but still... Frustrating.

Thank you so much Alai, I had no idea this was happening! You’ve opened my eyes to a whole new understanding of how Instagram works, and that it’s not static.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm so sad to see these changes happening. I've seen so many artists struggling to make reels and post new video content often enough to keep the momentum going. I wish someone would make a new platform that is like the original Instagram before Facebook bought it. Alai, I think I found your account through another artist. Sometimes I check out artists who comment on the artists I follow and find new accounts that way. I love your account and it's been lovely to watch you grow and expand to other platforms.

Alai thank you for posting this! I noticed this change as well and thought it was ME!! I couldn’t believe the drop in engagement and likes on my pics and I was starting to get really discouraged. This is so frustrating. I guess it’s time to explore other platforms as well. Thanks again for the great video content ✨

This hurts, like, to my core. Guess I missed my easy opportunity while away in college 🙄 I legit just started posting art again on Instagram in January and noticed the hashtags weren't doing anything. I was planning on eventually posting reels, but knowing that we have to basically rely on them for any hope of growth or engagement is super frustrating. Thank you for posting this Alai 💗💗💗

Thank you for the video, Alai! I’m curious, did you also experience a change in shown ads? I have a really small art account which I’m fine with but my reach is dropping lower and lower and sure this frustrates me. But the most awkward move from Instagram is that since around 2 weeks I literally get flushed with ads like “how to grow your account” etc. Could they have been more obvious? I guess not 😅 I would be interested to hear other experiences 💌

Not really I get the same. But that’s has to be because they’re targeting you for some reason. Maybe you looked for any keywords or who knows maybe that’s automatic for small accs 🙈

hey alai i thought you really need to see this because i want to ket you know that ur art work has inspired me so much creatively - i am an ib student taking art and a was really struggling with the subjects of my paintings - im a very positive person like urself but in recent years that has changed and therefore i felt burnt out and unmotivated even when i was doing something that i had immense amounts of passion for before i really struggled and only this year showed how much it had affected me, my perspective had be completely disoriented and i just when i thought i would be okay again im back to square one ive just been standing still the entire time without knowing but when i found ur instagram account i looked at all the paintings u did of ur life ur self - something in me clicked i had been inspired and my whole view of subject matter and life broadened i found the tiny things in life that mattered to me once again and i really needed that - thank you for saving me before it was too late

What is that light blue paint under your paintings? Is it an acrylic paint/ primer??Or something oil based? LOVE your art and love how the base color pops through!

Tik Tok and Twitter seem the way to go these days to be honest. There is no gallery option there tho, which is very unfortunate.
