There's also a chance that if the AI component is handling language and any localised customs, the strategy part from "you" moves offshore.

20 years is a long time in an industry with an incredible rate of change. Though I guess if you're in the market now, you're 3-5 years ahead of kids coming through tertiary studies specialising in AI.

I would suggest that those cases are a minor issue and the major negative pressure comes from general interaction with peers (whose names they know) or comparing themselves and their lives to professional social media users (almost always o

Some may know better for very specific parts of their business, but in the majority of cases, I would say they do not. More often than not, they're the ones pushing for some overwrought site with scrolljacking and needless animation or

A few points on this from someone who's been building websites for 25 years (I started around when images were added to HTML) - The web designers don't hear from many of these previous prospects who now go straight to Squarespace.

It's not just that the budgets are harder to justify; it's also that prospective clients consider themselves to be experts. Having your judgement and expertise consistently overruled is disheartening and you often end up just foll

Is this a bit like "what about all the other cancers?!" in a discussion about breast cancer? It's not as though this prevents action/attention for poverty or other issues. It's one tack of many, whether you agree or

Is anonymity the key issue for your example of Instagram and teen girls? I'd guess that a lot of the pressures come from their peers and professional users who are quite openly using their own identity.

Surely the concern for the West is less that TikTok influences content within China and more that they can subtly steer a foreign audience?

Everyone wants you to set up an account. It's tiring just visiting a physical store!

I imagine there are consultants that go around to gyms (especially chains) and say "We've got x things that are trivial to implement and will guarantee you make $123 more per customer on average. Cost for our analysis and recommen

Do you remember those Power Balance wristbands? I think the things back then on the radars of school/college kids were a bit simpler. In the recent past, fashion was the big driver and what 15-20 year olds saw in trends. Now, social me

It's a very visible problem in the USA - homeless, tent cities, and a definite rise in people living in their vehicles. Housing affordability is a key issue (and here in Australia as well). Related is a sense that the situation is not

On social media and elsewhere, companies need more and more varied content on a daily basis. Many are effectively now producing something akin to a magazine or a TV show to stay present in feeds or minds.

A married men attains the benefits of a wife promoting a social calendar with her (at least in my case) more numerous friends. This might also be true for anyone in a relationship at all - having a broader circle of friends, and thus social

I'd guess that if they get a lot of reports, they will generally pay closer attention to that entity. The consumer commission in Australia openly notes that there are lots of individual cases with which they can't assist, but stil

And the worst part is that if your curated feed isn't overly active (because Instagram is degrading their experience too), you get yet more suggestions and ads to fill the gaps. Plus the badgering to make reels, no matter how many time

That's not as valuable to advertisers though... ;) They're pushing away valuable eyeballs by trying to wring cash out of everyone.

Yep, I remember that piece. Silly thing is, I think Instagram would be just fine if they didn't suggest things constantly. Every time, I select to see it less often, but it's inevitably back the following day. Let each person choo

I don't think likes are currently their major issue. Instagram at least created its own problem: 1. start with regular people posting regular stuff - it was great fun 2. the professional users are the most active and polished 3. regula

Needlessly unpleasant. It appears that his intention is for it to exist in his image. Outrage and insult and misinformation. Instead of just replying to the employee's email!

Baffles me that he didn't just say at the start: "Sorry - I've found your email now and will reply." Instead he can't suppress the urge to try and embarrass anyone who doesn't bow to him. I know it fits Twitter
