Let's get into the questions and answers from the head of Instagram, and let's start with all the questions about getting the maximum amount of views on your content that you can.
So posting a reel every day is not practical for most people 'cause it's a lot of work.
Um, but in general, the more you post, the more reach you're gonna get 'cause the more times you're gonna get chances to get reach, the more people are gonna see your stuff, the more people are gonna follow your account, and it's just generally good.
It's true sometimes that right after you post, some people-
Hey, guys
... see your content and unfollow.
It is-
Sorry about that.
Um, but generally speaking, posting every day will help you grow your reach over time.

I wanna just add to that that you have to be posting quality content that people care about, that they wanna see, and that they want to see more of.

Do DMs to followers help me get pushed in the algorithm more? Here's Adam's answer.
On the margins, yes.
I think the more you engage with your followers, whether it's through DMs or other methods, commenting, liking comments, et cetera, the more likely they are to engage with your content in the future.
And if they do, that will then in turn help your reach.
So it indirectly helps you reach more people over time by just getting people excited about you and what you do.

I feel like that comes down to be a nice, supportive human on Instagram, and that will help you in the long run.

The next question: What should I do about fake copyright strikes? I don't think Adam exactly answers what this person is asking, but he does explain what to do when you get a copyright strike and how to deal with it.
If you have a strike on your account, whether it's a copyright strike or any other kind of strike, so a piece of content that was taken down, you'll be able to see it in account status.
So go to profile, settings, account status.
And if it was a mistake, you should appeal it.
