High school students: survey on short-form content (TikTok/Reels/Shorts) and attention span + academic performance (Students) (Teenagers)

Hey! I’m doing a short anonymous school research survey on how short-form content (TikTok/Reels/Shorts) affects attention span and study habits in students.

It takes less than 5 mins so I would really appreciate your response so much 🙏

Instagram business account keeps getting banned for "integrity" even after recovery

My Instagram business account keeps getting disabled 2-3 times in the last 10 days. The reason is always something like "account integrity" or similar.

I have zero violations no spam, no prohibited products(i resell jewellery), no automation, nothing. Every time I recover it through the normal process, it gets banned again soon after.

This is completely destroying my sales and livelihood as Instagram is my main platform.

Has anyone else faced this repeated ban loop? How did you finally fix it permanently? Any working solutions right now?

Thanks.

Secret account

I’ve made a secret account, new phone number, not connected to account center, just switching from the switch account button, no email connection, no syncing contacts, created it on a different device originally and do not follow anyone ik, anyway my friends can find it and know for a fact that it’s me other than pure chance?

permanently disabled account – what CAN i do?

hi, i know this is probably a really stupid question to ask but would there be aaaaany possible way to get my account back at this point???

so around early monday morning (AEST), i opened instagram to check my messages as i usually would & was hit with a suspension notice telling me that my account had been suspended for "account integrity" & that i had to appeal within 180 days or else i'd permanently lose access to the account!!!!! i obviously understand with all the new AI/moderation stuff being added that mistakes are 100% going to happen + i genuinely have no idea what i could've done wrong anyways😭😭💔 i have had this account to myself for years now. the only possible reasons i can think of is either mass-unfollowing old friends or having a celebrity as my profile pic for a while lol

i had tried appealing several times using both the video selfie & ID scan option which apparently still didnt prove to meta that i AM a real person as the account was eventually disabled

anyways i'm honestly just really frustrated as its my main way of communicating with friends & family, especially as an older teen & because i have YEARS worth of stored content on there like story archives, conversations, memories etc that i really really don't want to lose forever

i've also noticed (after looking through this subreddit for quite some time) that there seems to be a massive suspension/ban wave recently so i would like to assume i'm not the only person this is happening to right now lololollll

if anyones been through something similar & managed to get their account back one way or another, please let me know asap!! i have absolutely no idea what to do anymore

thx in advance 🙃

WHY INSTAGRAM??????

i am in a relationship with a girl and whenever we have some fights, small arguments literally same instagram which showed happy couples reels, posts suddenly changed the whole feed, reels algorithm to reels related to breakups, detachments. like why is it, do instagram want couples be happy in the platform and fight without without letting it know. same person 5 minutes ago who was sending me couples reels now sending reels which completely broke. I understand it id the platform for influencers, but instagram cannot influence such things because in todays time virtual influencing is the key to manipulate, influence annd change people's perspective. literally such reels come soo much that the person is forced to breakup with his/her partner. if instagram is a pltform made for people to innteract, share feelings then change your algorithm. one day ago we both were together and at night we had some arguments and next morning she give breakup cause she gets influence by the reels watchinng all night. thats not how you do.

Weird AI Models in “recently watched” ?

So I went through my partners phone with his permission, and I found out something really weird in his Instagram Recently Watched

Its a bunch of AI generated women using the same sound, same type of name (lisa.joy, katie.backer for example) with the same type of profile and background in the videos (an american flag and a room with led lights)

Its like a sexual sound but at the same time its incredibly fake. He (ofcourse) denies watching any of it, but Im starting to believe him because it looks like some kind of glitch or bug what has gotten into his algorithm for like a VERY short peeriod of time. Before this small window of videos there is not a single one like this or even containing a woman and for the past couple of days while monitoring it his feed/explore page is completely back to normal. All the ai model videos also have like 30k views with 31 likes. It just seems off?

Asking just to be sure, does anyone know anything about this. Could it be a bug/glitch or am I Just naive? Any one else has seen this?

Please help!

Hello to anyone who’s reading this. I’m super new to Reddit, and just giving this a shot.

I’m a mom, who’s recently started posting Instagram reels on things that interest me: dance, quotes and funny relatable content. I’m trying hard to grow, but as the saying goes, “everyone encourage you until you actually start doing something about it”, I’m stuck in my ~185 follower, ~500 view count per reel era.

If you could take a look and help me, provide inputs, perhaps give me a follow, like or share, I’d REALLY appreciate it! Please look up with happiebelle.

Thank you for encouraging a woman trying to reinvent and find her passions!

Trying to grow my art page — what would you improve?

Hey guys, I run a small art account where I sell my artworks and custom pieces. I’ve been trying to grow my Instagram page and would genuinely love some outside feedback from people who aren’t already my followers 😭

I’ll attach my Instagram ID below — please be honest. What do you think I should improve? Content style, posting, reels, captions, quality, literally anything.

Also tell me:
• What type of posts you’d wanna see more from an art page
• What makes you follow/stay on an art account
• What instantly makes you scroll away

Would really appreciate your inputs <3

Tipps for success on instagram

Hello, I want to raise awareness about hunger, poverty and war. For that, Im using Instagram among other Plattforms.

But I'm having absolutely no success there. I almost never get likes or comments, and my posts usually don't get more than a few hundred views (except for two or three AI pics with around 1,200 likes). To give you a better understanding: I DO know how to make good Posts: I also have a TikTok account and with some of these videos I receive tens of thousand views, thousands of likes and hundreds of comments. On Instagram, however, it just doesn't work. I've tried everything: short videos, single images, image sequences or AI-generated images. I've added movement to the videos with zooms and pans, I've made them more visually appealing with backgrounds, I've added overlays, text and I've even tried subtitles in some videos. Furthermore, I've tried using hashtags and not using them.

So, there MUST be a very special trick to make the algorythm and the Instagram community like you. What is that trick???

Please help 😔

Hello. First of all, I would be very, very, very, very grateful if you could help me 😔. Recently, my Instagram account, where I create content, was closed. I've always been careful about even the slightest bit of vulgarity. Despite this, my account was initially closed on the grounds that I was "under 13," and I had the chance to appeal. I appealed, but due to internet issues, the facial verification option disappeared, and I was forced to use ID verification. However, the process, which usually takes 3-5 days, was rejected as soon as I submitted my ID, and despite being over 13, my account is permanently closed, and I can no longer appeal. I suspect there was a problem with the ID verification or it wasn't properly investigated. Is there anyone who can help me, and what can I do?

HELP 😭

My friend and I created instagram accounts at the same time around 3 weeks ago. She posted 2 reels and blew up. I posted 10 and don't see much growth. In fact, I lost views compared to my first reels and the latest one ☹️ kinda jealous but also very curious how that happened.

I'm guessing the content quality but mine is not much worse than hers.

I need tips to grow. Pleaseee helppp 😿
