Comparing content performance across platforms reveals an interesting pattern. On X, my video views lag significantly behind Instagram's numbers. But here's what's worth noting: the engagement quality tells a completely different story.



Content on X skews toward educational material with substantive financial insights, while Instagram traffic is predominantly entertainment-driven. The audience composition matters too—X attracts intellectually engaged users actively seeking in-depth analysis and market commentary.

This gap highlights a broader shift in fintech and Web3 space. While traditional social platforms prioritize viral reach, X is emerging as the go-to hub for serious financial discourse. The demographic difference is stark: you're talking about high-signal participants versus passive viewers.

Looking ahead, the trajectory suggests financial content will increasingly gravitate toward platforms that reward depth over virality. That reshaping of where finance conversations happen could redefine how communities form around market information.

That's why I switched to X a long time ago. Honestly, the viral logic of Xiaohongshu and Instagram isn't really useful for financial analysis. Although X seems to have less data, that group of people really discuss seriously, unlike other platforms full of onlookers. Quality > Quantity, so true. In-depth content should have a reliable place to post, and X is becoming such a place.

Deep discussions on X are really worthwhile, much more reliable than the traffic game on Instagram.

X has fewer followers and less traffic, but we're talking about valuable content... This is the kind of atmosphere I like.

X has fewer followers and less traffic, but the depth of discussion is truly outstanding. It's far better than those trash contents on Insta that you scroll through quickly.
