Threads now let you search for posts and another rebranding for X…
A weekly newsletter about all things social media by Nuelink
Welcome to the Nuesletter and Nuelink Chronicles, your weekly dose of the juiciest social media trends, memes, and news! 📱💥
In the ever-evolving world of social media, X is stepping up its new job listings features with hundreds of companies now listing open roles on their profiles.
But that's not all, folks! X is all about helping creators collect those precious email addresses. Subscribers can now opt to share their email contacts with creators they follow. Let's just hope those creators don't send out too many memes.
Instagram is also trying to make its algorithmic feed a little more personal. They're testing a feature that lets you share feed posts only with your “Close Friends”.
But what about TikTok? Well, they are more focused on shifting their data to Ireland to comply with the EU's Digital Services Act. Or else, lose all of their European users in one go.
And over on YouTube, they're going all-in on gaming with “Playables”. You won't just watch gaming content; you can actually play games in-stream.
MrBeast, the YouTube sensation, is conducting some hilarious experiments with thumbnails. Apparently, thumbnails with closed mouths are stealing the views. Who knew that an excited face could cost you views?
Lastly, YouTube creators, brace yourselves! In November, YouTube is dropping individual ad controls, making the algorithm the boss of pre-roll, post-roll, skippable, and non-skippable ads. Will this lead to another adpocalypse? Stay tuned to find out.
That's a wrap for this week's Nuelink Chronicles! Stay tuned for more social media adventures and remember, there's always something new around the corner. 😉
You can now catch up on social media news and the latest marketing strategies weekly with the Nuelink team.
