YouTube A.I. Overreach, IG vs. Small Creators, & Meta A.I. News?

Is Instagram punishing small creators with lower video quality? And what’s with YouTube’s new AI takeover? Here’s everything you need to know about the latest changes from Instagram, YouTube, Meta, and LinkedIn.

📝 Overview
In Episode 8 of the ACT18 Show, we dive into the latest updates from the social media giants. First up, Instagram is under fire for downgrading the quality of videos that aren’t performing well. Small creators are feeling the sting, and it raises questions about fairness in content distribution. Next, YouTube rolls out AI-driven features, including video summaries, community-driven comments, and even AI support for creators. But are these changes actually helping us, or just adding more hurdles?

Then, we discuss Meta’s partnership with Reuters to launch an “unbiased” news bot – a noble effort on paper, but is it possible to truly remove bias from the news? Finally, we look at LinkedIn’s surprising rise in engagement, showing that it still has the potential for organic reach, and X’s plans to monetize videos. But with their recent shift away from ad revenue sharing to an “engagement model,” will creators really benefit?

Tune in as we break down these stories and discuss what it all means for creators like us!
