Feed

A feed is the stream of posts a user sees when browsing a social media platform.

Feeds may include followed accounts, recommended content, ads, reposts, and platform-curated suggestions.

For brands, feed content usually needs a strong hook and clear visual identity to stand out while people scroll.

Feed posts need to communicate value quickly because they compete with friends, creators, ads, news, entertainment, and recommended content in the same scroll.
