Out now in my newsletter - the TikTok ban that wasn’t, plus why propaganda in something as precarious as the creator economy is a dangerous thing.

TikTok could be banned. Soon. OR it might not get banned. Soon or ever. I hope this has been helpful

Part of the issue with ad monetization on social media is that it incentivizes people to react to or summarize news content for the most reward instead of actually doing journalism, which is also disincentivized with legal threats

Made a TikTok vid last year about my thoughts on creator vs influencer. In just a short year, I feel like things have changed again. Influencers to me, read heavily like celebrities now. Esp once they rely less on income filtered via social media platforms
