You have to look real close, and when you do, it's *very* obvious. But if you still can't see it, let me show you: (a very short 🧵)

It’s wild that LinkedIn is the highest-earning platform on mobile. Just wild!

I know Bluesky is also working on that. Let’s see if it’ll make a dent
Which social network do you think is the best at monetizing its users?

Snapchat? Not yet
𝕏? Nope!
Instagram? Almost!

It's LinkedIn 🤷🏻‍♂️

DeepSeek might be on 🔥 right now but its App Store launch wasn't a match for ChatGPT in the US.

It didn't beat Copilot or Gemini. All three launched with substantial ad campaigns though, so it's not a true comparison.
