Youtube short vs Insta reels ?

Instagram Reels

I like insta reels. They feel more personalized

Youtube short

Reels! Always feel like YouTube isn't the best for short videos.

I am more active on YouTube as a content creator but consumer on IG. But according to this logic, I should more focus on YouTube Shorts to nail them.

Youtube shorts for me.

I think that Instagram reels are still more used than Youtube shorts for the same purpose

Both are great, but YouTube Shorts is better for discovery, while Instagram Reels shines for community engagement

I am keeping the creator and the content aside, but for interface and experience, I will choose Instagram reels over YouTube shorts. Feature-wise, I will again choose Reels as it is very dynamic based on the CTA and whatever outcome you want to achieve.

I prefer books, to be frank. Both, shorts and reels are time-consuming and over-feeding unnecessary topics at times. Sometimes, the personalization based on previous search history feels like adding a restriction to learn something new.

Depends on target audience

why do you all vote for reels? whats the reason? it seems that algorithm of youtube is much cooler for small accounts

Its not an either/or thing. Its the same format -- cut the same piece of content and post on both!

I’ve been trying both YouTube Shorts and Instagram Reels. I find that YouTube Shorts tend to reach a broader audience, but Reels are great for engaging with followers directly.

I love how quick and easy it is to create content for both platforms. I’m curious, which one do you find more effective for growing your aud

I’ve seen some great results with YouTube Shorts, especially when it comes to getting discovered by new people.

I prefer YouTube Shorts for discovering new content. The recommendations seem more tailored to my interests.

I prefer instagram reels They have better editing tools and are more integrated into the platform’s overall experience.

Insta Reels is my go-to for quick, fun content. The editing tools are great for creating engaging videos on the fly.
