I'm near daily user of Instagram for years and I didn't know what broadcast channels were until I read this post. I just open the app and scroll the feed :) That's actually how I found that you wrote a new article, from IG, since I open it way more than substack. Very good read. I love BTS on YouTube and blogs much more than on IG because long-form content is much better for learning. I usually skip BTS on IG unless it's a very specific artist or shot I'm interested in, for example, a May the 4th shot that used forced perspective was cool to see the setup on IG.
I'm personally a huge fan of behind the scenes content, both for Mocs and photography. I ale want to see how stuff was done so I can apply similar techniques to my own work and keep improving.
I also love seeing some great images from the medieval march contest, I personally was disappointed and uninspired by the building and photography quality of the first place cart and second place Minifigure, so it's nice to see some higher quality entries.
Any readers of this Substack will be a fan of BTS because it's Take Better Toy Photos, and that's the audience.
As for the results, my photography picks differ quite a bit but the contest wasn't just about photography. If it were, I'd have run it on BrickCentral, which is a community dedicated to excellent LEGO photography. Other people with better building skills or more humor would just not stand a chance.

Thanks for reading! I'm the same in that I like deeper focus for learning, and that's not IG.
