Yes, you read that right – the White House reached out to TikTok Stars to help spread the message about Ukraine. The idea was to help inform creators about the US policy towards Russia. In doing so, the White House acknowledged that people are getting their information from these social media platforms. So, why do Lauren and Josh think this is both terrifying and genius? And what does Saturday Night Live have to do with all of it? I’m curious too!
After wrapping your head around that, it looks like we’re really touching on the “madness” part of March Madness, in this episode. The NCAA suspends members of Kent State for talking smack against Akron and Josh and Lauren discuss - Did the punishment fit the crime? Was it actually a crime? Isn’t smack-talking part of the game? Lauren makes a valid point, “Do people really need to do everything online?” Hmmm.
Instacart rolls out a recipe ingredient delivery service that would allow creators to link their TikTok videos to shopping lists. Even though it’s currently a limited program, the possibilities are incredible. Both Josh and Lauren are excited about this but they have so many questions. I bet you do too!
We’re also breaking down Vimeo’s changing platform and what it means to Patreon and its creators. And of course, Josh and Lauren give you the info on Pinterest’s latest answer to TikTok, perhaps?
Don’t miss Josh’s upload and listen for where Lauren says, “Internet. Love it, hate it, it’s complicated.” She’s not wrong!
As always, we’re everything you need to know about the Creator Economy!
