Instagram Reels

Could be a few things. 1. the Reel hooks aren’t strong enough in the first 3 seconds.
2. It could also be that the content format isn’t what your audience usually watches, like they may interact more with photos than video so IG assumes that’s your “lane.” Just keep on with it, and ensure quality, your time will come.

My account is 6 months old, between 15-20k real us followers.
All my reels don't reach even 10k views, the top one was 6.5k views.
I had posts which reached +1M views and all my posts get +20k views.
I have checked my account status and everything is in green, what could be the reason? like the algorithm will only push my posts and not my reels?

Try approaching with different format/concept. IG constantly tweaks it's approach to showing your content to other people - sometimes it's enough to just change the first 1-2 seconds of the video so more people would be interested. Most stagnation I have seen on accounts that lack creativity - if you do only soccer highlights your audience pool might be exhausted at some point if you show the same format videos.

Though, I also suggest using Trial reels, these were made specifically to attract new audience.

Maybe the saturation in your niche increased. Improve your content quality.

Most likely, the content just isn't interesting. I had the same thing happen to me, then I posted a completely different reel, unrelated to my profile's theme, and it immediately got 300k views.

Reels are ranked separately from posts.
Early retention and watch time matter more than follower count.

If your regular posts are reaching 20k+ and some hit 1M, your audience probably responds well to that format. With Reels, Instagram looks heavily at things like hook, watch time, replays, shares, and how fast people engage in the first few minutes. If those signals are weak, the Reel may stop early even if the account itself is healthy.
