Instagram Debuts an Events Feature That Curates User-Generated Videos
By Lauren Stacy • August 24, 2016
Instagram has taken another step in what is turning into a full-blown Snapchat blitz. The platform announced it’s rolling out an Events video channel on its Explore page that uses an algorithm to curate user-generated videos from major events like concerts and sports. Like the rest of Explore, and similar to Snapchat’s Discover feature, the new addition is personalized for each user based on the photos and videos they like and who they follow.
