But our main topic for the week is Instagram Reels. It’s Zuckerberg’s last chance at creating a genuinely exciting content ecosystem. After an hour of scrolling through it, we’re not sure it’s going to work. </p><p>SHOW NOTES</p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.tiktok.com/@welovebinleymegachippy">The Binley Mega Chippy TikTok</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Finland/comments/54q6us/finnish_facts_fast_free_buckets/">The Finnish bucket thing</a></p><p><a target="_blank" href="https://www.vox.com/the-goods/23000352/instagram-algorithm-reels-video-following-favorites">“Nobody wants more crappy videos on Instagram.
