How a opinion carousel is built

An opinion carousel takes a clear position and defends it. It gets comments because people want to agree or push back.

  1. Slide 1: the take, stated plainly
  2. Slides 2–3: why most people believe the opposite
  3. Middle slides: your reasons and evidence
  4. Last slide: the question that invites a reply

Use it when: You disagree with common advice in your niche and can say why.

Turn one of these into your own post

  1. Pick the structure, not the subject. Choose a carousel whose shape fits an idea you already have: the hook pattern, the slide count, the way it ends.
  2. Keep what made it work. Note the first-slide promise, how much text each slide carries and what the last slide asks for.
  3. Write it about your world. Swap in your own topic, examples and voice. Credit the creator if you borrow something specific.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good opinion carousel about design?

A specific first slide, like “ENVIRONMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY ACOUSTIC ENGINEERING SACRED MATHEMATICS CLIMATE SCIENCE SPIRITUALITY. The Psychology of Mosque Architecture ENVIRONMENTAL…” (@qissagoi.ae, 17×), “THE BEAUTY OF DESIRE PATHS” (@hut, 7.4×), “(DTS) RIP SLEEK DESIGN A new movement is rising against frictionless design in favor of texture and imperfections. Swipe through to read the research report…” (@deathtostock, 6.7×), then a clear structure: slide 1: the take, stated plainly; slides 2–3: why most people believe the opposite; middle slides: your reasons and evidence; last slide: the question that invites a reply.

How many slides should a opinion carousel about design have?

Most design opinion carousels in the library use 13 slides, and 52% use 13–20 slides. Across all niches, carousels with 11–15 slides were the most likely to double their creator’s usual engagement (28%), and 2–3 slide carousels the least likely (16%).

What is an outlier carousel?

An outlier carousel got more likes and comments than its creator usually gets. Top Carousels divides each carousel’s likes + comments by the median of up to 20 carousels from the same creator posted around the same time, so 3× means three times that creator’s usual engagement.
