Nowadays the posts that are natural and raw does much better than those in which content production is heavily used bcz these kinds of posts appears to be like advertisements right away.
Do you prefer content or more natural posts on Instagram?

I like natural posts more. They feel real and are easier to relate to but useful content is good too.

i would be more inclined to choose the nattural posts, since they look less staged nd make it possible to get closer to the real owner of the account. small corrections are alright, but when everything seems too polished i just skip the post.

"Natural" posts, n it's mostly bc overproduced content triggers instant skepticism in ppl who've been burned by fake influencer polish for a decade

i prefer natural posts, contents that feel like it's trying to sell me something or is too "professional" i just skip over it
I find myself drawn to those posts which does not appear to have been created solely to appease the algorithm. a spontaneous post, a messy behind the scenes video or an honest opinion is much more engaging.
I prefer natural posts that still have some thought behind them. Perfectly edited content can look good, but if every post feels like an advertisement, I lose interest. A mix works best: polished posts for important content and more casual Stories or behind-the-scenes updates to show some personality.
It seems like I'm aiming for a more natural posting style, but (natural) here implies spontaneity, while the content still needs to be polished and creative.

I don't understand. What are you asking?
I will picks a combination of both. polished posts will get noticed easily but some times u can see it is only the random stuff that convinces the user that you are a real person.

I would suggest a blend of both. Good writing is important for gaining access, but posts that are more genuine and candid will add authenticity to the account.

Honestly, a mix works best. Natural posts usually get better engagement because they don’t feel like ads, while more structured content is better for actually converting people. I’d keep the feed mostly natural and sprinkle in promotional content when it makes sense.
