Instagram is shifting its focus to promote original content and creators, particularly within the Reels feature.

The new changes will hopefully rectify this and provide all creators with a fair chance of reaching new audiences. While the specifics of the new ranking system remain undisclosed, Instagram hints that popularity, as determined by the number of followers, will no longer be a deciding factor.
