    We've noticed a massive drop in our Instagram story views over the last two weeks without changing our posting habits or content style at all. It feels like our reach just fell off a cliff overnight, so I'm wondering if anyone else here is seeing this right now or if there's been an unannounced algorithm update affecting business accounts. We usually rely on stories for quick B2B updates, but it seems like our account is being throttled for no obvious reason. Have any of you managed to bounce back from a sudden drop like this recently, and what specific tweaks actually worked to get your reach back to normal?

    All SM algorithms are AI generated. There is a change in how AI understands your content. If you haven't changed anything, that would explain the 'dropping off a cliff' problem.
