A friend told me my Instagram captions were too long and boring

She said people scroll right past my posts because the text looks like a wall. I started keeping captions under 100 characters and using more emojis and questions. My reach on my last 5 posts went up by almost 70%. Anyone else find that shorter is better for engagement?

Yeah, attention spans are basically zero now.

Read an article about how even TV shows have shorter scenes now. A show from the 90s might have a conversation last three minutes, but now cuts happen every 30 seconds. It's like our brains are trained for constant new shots. Makes rewatching older stuff feel weirdly slow.

Used to think that was a myth, but you're totally right.
