The REAL reason why Instagram is focused on Reels is that short-form videos (IMO) are the best search engines. Teenagers use videos within Tiktok to search for the things they care about, and Instagram wants those viewers. Short-form videos provide that information in easy-to-understand, quick bites versus longer YouTube videos or blog posts - so more viewers mean more $$ for digital ads.
Being able to quickly take your most important ideas and turn them into content is important for any social media marketer. Especially those looking for content creation for beginners, or small business owners who have a lack of time, or resources (I understand because that's me also).

When it comes to social media, one of the cardinal rules is not to share content that isn't yours. This includes things like photos, videos, and quotes. Not only is it plagiarism, but it can also be a violation of copyright law. If you're sharing someone else's content without asking them first, you can get into a lot of trouble and have to pay fines or even have your account taken away for violating social media community guidelines.
