so anyway i posted this kind of throwaway clip on instagram from a run i did through some trees near my house, wasnt even a great run honestly i clipped a branch at the end and had to do a quick save, but something about it got picked up and its sitting at like 40k views now which is more than anything ive ever posted combined. the comments are mostly people asking what drone it is and where the location is

not really sure what my question is here i guess im just kind of surprised. does this happen to people a lot where the stuff you think is mediocre does better than the stuff you actually worked hard on

yeah 100% the algorithm on instagram especially seems to reward raw and spontaneous stuff over the super polished edits. i spent two days grading a hyperlapase video once and got 200 views. posted a shaky 15 second clip of my dog chasing my whoop and it got shared like crazy. makes no sense but thats just how it is i think

the branch save probably helped, people love watching near misses. what frame were you flying btw
