Paid placements, shown after our picks. Our three picks are never paid for, and sponsored reels follow the same rules.

How a reel gets featured

Every week we choose one niche and pick the three reels that did it best. Being picked is free and can't be bought.

We look for

  • A public account with 10,000+ followers, or a reel with 30,000+ views
  • Posted in the last few weeks
  • Original content, made by the creator who posted it
  • Strong engagement for its size: likes, comments and shares
  • A clear hook and a reason people watched to the end

Never featured or sponsored

  • Political content
  • Nudity or adult content
  • Content involving children
  • Purely AI-generated content
  • Violence, hate or copied reels

The same rules apply to sponsored reels. A sponsored reel is always labelled "Sponsored" and shown after our three picks.
