Not reach but connection. Stories reach your followers, and they can reply directly.
Not for reach — that's what you use reels for. Stories mainly reach people who already follow you, and they are gone after a day. That makes them suited to things that don't need to be perfect: a look behind the scenes, a question, an announcement.
A poll or question sticker generates responses, and responses are the strongest signal there is. On top of that, you get answers you can use in your regular content — your audience tells you what it should be about.
A run of fifteen stories in a row gets tapped away. Three to five a day, with something worthwhile, keeps people watching.
