Instagram is currently testing the idea of adding "Clear Mode" to videos. In this mode, you can choose to remove the descriptions and UI buttons from Reels while scrolling through the feed.
Of course, this is a page taken out of TikTok's book yet again, as they have had to option to clear away the buttons and description by holding the video with your finger. The only difference between what Instagram is doing versus TikTok is that Instagram's feature will be applied to all Reels until you opt out of clear mode.

I wouldn't say this is a bad idea because there are many times when the description clutter gets in the way of the videos, but at the same time, what will this do for creator traffic?
If users hide the information about who created the video, who has engaged, and important caption information, will this affect users' interest in following new creators?
