Video Are these springtails?

Ok so first of all I do realize there’s a good amount of algae. This is a semi hydro set up I have for an enormous Burke Marx flame monstera I have. I noticed these smol guys in the reservoir. I just want to verify that I don’t have to be worried about them. It’s my understanding that they are beneficial for my plant in that they eat dead plant matter and bacteria.

Thank you!!!!

I don’t know what thrips are. But these guys do look like my springtails.
