Is it worth spending hours perfecting a reel, or should I keep it simple?

Don’t overthink it. A highly polished reel you spent hours scripting and editing might get minimal engagement, while a simple, authentic 10-minute creation can go viral. Focus on genuine, attention-grabbing content over production perfection. Sometimes the most valuable marketing comes from your simplest, most spontaneous content. Create what feels natural and compelling rather than obsessing over every detail.
