Compare Instagram Reels and Stories for bot traffic, including visibility, discoverability, lifespan, and recommendation potential.
Reels are generally better to bot than Stories. Reels are public, indexed, and can be discovered by non-followers, giving inflated view counts a discoverability angle. Story views are only visible to followers and disappear after 24 hours, making botting them a short-lived vanity metric. That difference is why BotViewer sells Reels view delivery rather than a story equivalent.
