[Join the REELS, GROUPS, ADS workshop]( Reposting, repurposing, and remixing Reels ...speaking of REELS, I'd be real curious to hear your thoughts on the practice of downloading OPC? Other people's content. Well, in this case, other people's Reels, so OPR. 🤪 Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, recently announced (in his Broadcast Channel - are you subscribed?) that now anyone can download any public Reel... presumably with the goal of posting it elsewhere. There's also the REMIX and SEQUENCE tools which are an integral part of any Reel. This is where you can take someone else's Instagram Reel and make it your own with commentary or additional footage. Downloaded IG Reels do have an Instagram watermark - just like downloaded TikTok videos. I understand apps like Repurpose.io remove the watermark. Anyway, I'm just thinking aloud here... I get that one of Meta's main goals is to get its billions of users to crank out content nonstop, as that's the only way they can continue to create more ad inventory, right? 🤷🎯 Would You Like To Generate More Leads? #MetaPartner.
