Pod News

Instagram

Linktree Who? 👀 Earth Day may have just passed but that hasn’t stopped IG from coming for LinkTree’s neck! (I know, couldn’t help myself) IG now allows users to natively share up to five links on their profiles. Does it rival the customization abilities of Linktree? Not presently, but for budding creators needing to save a buck this is a cool start and a smart move for IG. Would love to see how it gets more responsive and customizable over time.

Twitter

Sure the old crowd won’t come, but V-bucks are half-off on Wednesdays.

LinkedIn

YouTube

Supreme Court Heat. YouTube is waiting on a deliberation from the Supreme Court that could affect tons of platforms including ChatGPT. We know how lethal the Supreme Court can be. I would liken it to a gang of babies that like to see things ‘go boom’, but are also insulated from the consequences of any of their actions…I mean the Voting Rights Act is standing in the corner of the room trembling for mercy. Whether these new protections are needed or not isn’t for us to say, but ramifications will most likely be felt by platforms and creators alike.
