TikToks future is clearly uncertain. Lets unpack whats next:
What Now? The Amazing Social Race
It’s official—the Supreme Court has banned TikTok in the United States. While there are potential avenues to challenge or reverse this ruling, the future of the platform looks grim.

Ah yes the Trump era of social media is here. What does this mean for Meta?

Maybe more friends on BlueSky 🙃🦋

I cant get enough of this Trending section. It’s beautiful 🥹

The #BlueSkyTrending looks REALLY GOOD. I love the in-feed placement that allows users to click out. There’s also something so familiar about clicking the search icon and being met with trends and recommendations.

Bravo 👏🏽 @bsky.app

What frustrates me as a marketer? Lazy or incorrect messaging. 🧵

Quick Bluesky overview:

• Total Likes and Total Follows significantly dropped
• Total Posts also decreased, but not so much

What does it mean and where can it lead?
What can we do about it? 👇

Looks like the TikTok ban is headed to the supreme court.

No panic button needed yet but this is an interesting turn of events.

Marketers, any thoughts?

I took a stroll through threads this morning.

I still can’t get behind it. Bootstrapping accounts to Instagram limits professionalism in my opinion.

However, I do worry that Meta has a chip on their shoulder. I fear the platform updates may sway casual users off BlueSky.

Thoughts?

How do we all feel about AI-generated podcasts?

Informercials are back! Marketers, do we like this approach from brands?

Here’s a deep dive on what I found 📰
Infomercials Have A New Home On TikTok
We’ve all experienced the annoyance of accidentally leaving the television on overnight, only to wake up to an infomercial trying to sell a cleaning product or a pan you’ll never use.
