Think like Snapchat. That's what they were mimic-ing. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 13:14
If you’re trying to tell a story, it works well. You can save highlights if you choose and put them on your profile. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 12, 12:50 15
- Right. It's meant for one post to run into the other but people don't often use it that way. It works well with longer videos. - Krusty Aug 12, 12:52
- I guess that I'm surprised that people don't put more of their content somewhere that isn't so temporary -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:51 13
  - You can save it to your page so it's viewable by people anytime but yeah, it won't be up top after 24hrs. - Krusty Aug 12, 12:54

  - It’s more about getting people to engage. Also offers a LOT more room for creativity. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 12, 12:53 1
    - Yup. You can add polls, question boxes and other things to engage with your friends and audience. You can do more in stories than you can in - Krusty Aug 12, 12:56
  - Weird thing for me is I almost never look at stories. I think I've clicked into them maybe 3 times ever. -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 12:52 8
    - this maybe explains my other question, which is why some people post the same content in both places -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:55 4
      - There's also a weird thing (I think) that people can see if you clicked into their story. In the back of my head I don't want people to know when I'm - oblique Aug 12, 12:56 3
        
        Do you not click like on photos either so they don't know you were looking? -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:00 1
        
        Sure. If I like it. But that's different. I can't even view the story without someone knowing. It's weird. -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 13:01
        
        huh. really? that's weird -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:57
    - I love them. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 12, 12:54
    - I'd say the story:profile content ratio is at least 4:1 -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:53 1
      - I also don't ever have audio on with my phone so I totally don't understand stories, snapchat, and tiktok where audio is supposed to be prevalent - oblique Aug 12, 12:54
It's basically snapchat. It's supposed to be for quick content, meme-y type things. -- (edited) - oblique Aug 12, 12:50
