Been in the same boat man, views tanked this year even tho I didn’t change much. The algo hasn’t really “changed” tho it’s still all about watchtime/retention. If ppl aren’t sticking past the first few seconds, IG stops pushing it. What helped me was running my reels through Creafico to see exactly where viewers dropped, then tweaking hooks + pacing. Once I fixed that, views started climbing back up. Posting your face could def help too it adds that extra connection ppl scroll for.
