It’s crazy to think that Instagram Reels, owned by Meta, is preferable to TikTok now. At least Reels now is at least competitive in terms of content - unlike two years ago when people were worried about TikTok being banned and Reels was not a good alternative.

Isn't Reels content more right-wing, while TikTok has lots of both left-leaning and right-leaning content.

    TikTok historically has, but if this is truly the new owners trying to block content then that can change rapidly.

    Reels skews older in the user-base, which skews the average to the right.

    Sample of one, but I scroll Reels at least 30 mins a day and I've never seen any right-wing content on my feed.
