Hi friend 👋🏼 and welcome to this week’s edition of “the dump.” Things are moving FAST this week. TikTok continues to be in deep legal waters in the US but a ban still seems unlikely. We also have a ton of AI news, with Grok now being available to all users and Chat GPT coming up with a CRAZY new monthly subscription.

Are you ready?

P.S. Show some love to our forever sponsor, TANGO, by giving them a follow on LinkedIn.

Cheers,

In 2024 & 2025, influencer marketing is the best way to grow your business—if you do it right. Do it wrong and it’s a great way to waste money fast.

We run full-service, end-to-end influencer marketing campaigns with white glove service for brands like Crocs, Lyft, and GNC. We handle it all—you just grow.

🚫 US appeals court unanimously upholds TikTok ban

The law could be in effect as soon as next month, but TikTok is already planning to take it to the Supreme Court. Is it time to worry

💬 Instagram Creators can enable replies in Broadcast channels 

Creators can now allow users to reply to their posts and respond to other users’ responses, transforming Broadcast into true conversation channels.

📊 X added follower vs non-follower engagement data 

The data can be viewed in X’s updated analytics element and includes a new chart showing your engagement split.

💰 ChatGPT’s new Pro subscription will cost you $200 per month

It includes the fully functional version of its 01 reasoning model, capable of fact-checking itself before returning its generated response to the user.

👾 X has made its Grok AI chatbot available to all users

Prior to now, it had only been available for use to X Premium subscribers – or, fewer than 1% of the platform’s total users.

#️⃣ Are Instagram hashtags still useful?

Absolutely, as Meta uses them to understand what your post is about and distribute it to the right audiences. They also are the best way to collect and track UGC.

The ring hides a can opener. It is made from 925 sterling silver and further accented with white zirconia stones.
