What Are Reddit Story Videos?

Reddit Story videos take viral posts from Reddit and turn them into engaging short-form videos. These videos typically feature a story being read over background gameplay footage (like Minecraft parkour or Subway Surfers), making them incredibly popular on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels. This format is perfect because it combines entertaining stories with satisfying visual content that keeps viewers engaged.

Why Reddit Stories Perform So Well

Reddit Story videos are one of the most successful content formats because:

Built-in Engagement: Reddit stories are already proven to be interesting — they got upvoted for a reason!
Visual Appeal: The gameplay background keeps viewers watching even during slower parts of the story
Relatability: Many Reddit stories are about everyday situations people can relate to
Easy to Consume: Viewers can listen while doing other things, increasing watch time

Step 1: Navigate to Reddit Stories Creator

Go to Create → Faceless → Reddit Stories in your dashboard. You'll see options to customize your story video.

Step 2: Choose a Subreddit

Select which subreddit you want to pull stories from. Popular options include:

r/AmItheAsshole: Drama and relationship stories
r/tifu: "Today I Messed Up" — funny mistake stories
r/entitledparents: Stories about entitled parents
r/relationship_advice: Relationship drama and advice
r/confession: Personal confessions and stories
And many more popular subreddits!

Best Practices for Reddit Story Videos

Follow these tips for viral Reddit story content:

Pro Tip: Choose stories with clear conflict, interesting characters, or unexpected twists. These keep viewers watching until the end.
