Perez / @theperezhilton : .@Instagram just launched a new service called IGTV, which gives creators little to no incentive to use! Why would they upload long content on there when they can't monetize it? https://goo.gl/BGDjiv @Kevin Alex Kantrowitz / @kantrowitz : Instagram: “We are re-envisioning mobile video with a new standalone surface that features longer videos and easy discoverability through channels, all in a vertical format that sits upright, in the palm of your hand.” Kurt Wagner / @kurtwagner8 : The long form video segment is called IGTV. Longer, vertical videos for mobile. The pitch from IG CEO Kevin Systrom is that “video on mobile is clunky or unnatural” and “you want the best videos, not just ALL videos.” https://business.instagram.com/a/ IGTV Thanks: @joshconstine See also Mediagazer
