A trebuchet appears in Kris Collins's Instagram feed, and she has something better than a reaction ready: home-video proof that her husband and his cousin built one just like it.
That unexpected connection is part of "The Algorithm Has Exposed Me…", Kallmekris's return to reacting to the strange clips served up by Instagram Reels. The upload drew roughly 520,000 views in its first 22 hours.
After recent uploads about true crime and unsettling Reddit stories, this is a change of company. Her dachshund Rupert gets the opening greeting, and Collins says requests from her Instagram audience brought her back to the format. The video includes a sponsored earbud segment before the Reels begin.
The feed gives her plenty to work with: too many vehicle keys become an imaginary escape from Michael Myers, while a posture clip prompts a demonstration of her own crouched sitting position, compared with L from Death Note. A didgeridoo gets her out of the chair for a headbanging dance. Later, a construction-site cartwheel inspires an attempt in her room, flannel tied around her waist.
The title's "exposure" is comic, but the closing explanation is more candid. Collins says she has been feeling creatively burned out and wants to make videos her viewers enjoy. She also gives the return a behind-the-scenes connection: it has been years, she says, since editor Jay worked on one of these reaction videos.
