I’d like to start a discussion with you guys about creating Reels.
In different communities and videos I’ve seen people recommend making Reels that are controversial or that trigger strong reactions in order to increase engagement. I’m curious to hear your opinion about this. Do you think making Reels that provoke outrage or spark debates about how “appropriate” the girl is could actually have the opposite effect on our influencer? Right now I’m building a character who is sensual but not vulgar, and I’m a bit worried that suddenly posting Reels where she appears extremely provocative (for example overly explicit scenarios or very aggressive sexual humor) might damage the image I’m trying to build. At the same time, I’d like to avoid posting only simple dancing Reels, so I’m also exploring other styles of content. I’m still trying to understand if pushing toward more controversial content is really worth it in the long run. What do you guys think? Have you tested this strategy, and did it help or hurt your influencer’s brand? I also uploaded a few screenshots from some profiles to give an idea of the type of content I’m referring to.
