I was checking the accounts of the top influencers of Spain and only few have post anything on igtv.

And nothing relevant (they are posting futile stories longer than 10 seconds that they should have to post split in stories)

Is it because no monetizing?
is it because no links, no stikers, no mentions,... that stories have?

What's the purpose of IGTV lol it's just sh*t full of clickbait and life hack cancer videos.
 
IGTV is not so popular because there are stories, and people don't need anything else.
 
IGTV is new and strange having long format videos filmed vertically. Most people shoot horizontally, so formatting a video for IGTV is tricky.

Stories are more important right now IMO
 
I think it just needs time til people get used to it, just like when stories first became a thing not a lot of people where using them
 
I would use it if I could, but it requires a lot of work to edit the videos in the niche I am to fit the format IGTV requires.
 
People are not used to it yet, besides that, creators have video inventory in landscape orientation. Not you have to record in 2 different orientations to give igtv a try.

I know it's a botched job, but you can crop your videos.
Knowing that you can add clickable links in the description of the video, it's something to work on it
 
igtv was an epic failing idea
facebook doesn't suppose to make everything a success, they also fail like any other business
 
I do not see the IGTV joke taking the stories but well let's wait a little longer to see how it behaves
 
Instagram wants make a new trend "portrait videos" on igtv
However many influencer love of these features for collecting their long duration videos
 
vertical video is interesting. i think it might have some serious legs but needs a little time to see if it catches on. there's that dreams app that is converting tv network shows into vertical video, so there's also $$$ being invested into the future of the format. time will tell.
 
It's still a new thing. It hasn't really failed or succeeded yet in my opinion. So maybe later on in 2019, we may possibly see some upswing.

It's still a viable avenue for content honestly.

I think it's due to the lack of monetization mostly. Influencers are not going to invest their time into creating something that won't bring them income
 
Vertical is a even better choice for viewing and some musicians even made exclusive Vertical Video for their singles but, IGTV is just not popular. At least not yet. IG should implement it somehow like they did with Stories and make them relevant. 2019 is here so, we'll see what happens but some experts are claiming that "it's not gonna happen" because people don't have the time/patience for it or the attention.
