Do bots affect analytics and paid ads? So I recently learned that platforms intentionally create bots to increase their business value regarding investors. So I am wondering do these bots affect the average users analytics? Like if a business is hires an influencer, how does one tell if those analytics are human views and interactions. And if paying for ads, can bots also be clicking…

Hootsuite vs Sprout Hi everyone! My company is switching platforms from meltwater and we’re between hootsuite and sprout. I’ve used both in the past but it’s been years. Legal only allowed us to link burner accounts for our trials which was better than nothing but I don’t feel like we got the full feel for them. Any insight into experience would be helpful, offered…

I feel like I should just post and I lack the work ethic. I wanna grow my platforms but I’m just too lazy. When I started my TikTok I had a lot of clips saved in a file that I just started posting. Some blew up and I got a decent following from it. I know I should treat it like a job but it’s on my own discipline. Does anyone have advice for getting over a slump like this ? submitted by /u/Zydai…

TikTok just pulled off the biggest ‘ban’ in history—back in the app stores like nothing happened So after all the talk about national security risks, data concerns, and a full-on removal from app stores, TikTok is officially back on both Apple & Google’s stores in the U.S.—like it was never gone. A month ago, this app was being treated like a threat to national security, and now? Just casually reinstated after some “assurances” were given. …

We’ve been working in this field for about two years on our own. We’ve closed some contracts, but I feel like I’m not progressing.

Negotiating with a brand for sponsored content. I gave them my base rate for the project concept we decided on, and they asked if I could include organic usage rights in that rate. But they also said they would want to repost my content to their own feed on a different platform. Help? I’m trying to pick apart how to approach this, I am kind of new to this world! The base rate included production of the content and posting to my main platform (which is what they requested). I feel like I’m totally fine to include organic usage rights on that main platform, but them posting my content to their own feed on a separate platform fe…

Hi! I have a question about organic usage rights. A brand would like me to include organic usage in my base rate, which generally I am okay with. But I am fuzzy on the details… The primary place I am creating content for them is on Substack, and they (under organic usage) would like to take that content and post it to their Instagram. Is organic usage (the kind that is usually no extra charge in the base rate) just for sharing the content you make or reposting it on the main platform (Substack) you posted it on? Does …

Evolution of Social Media What does everyone think the next step for social media is? I think short form video has nailed it right now and I can’t see us moving past it for a while. Curious to see what others think would keep people using the different platforms in the future. Focusing more on what content will be pushed rather than ads, AI and political meddling. s…

Will Social Media Eventually Be Set Behind A Paywall? We’ve seen businesses go from reaching social media users organically to now having to pay to reach more than 2% of their already following audience. Social media has seen a lot of drama this year alone (and it’s only February), so it’s got me thinking that those who still stay on these platforms and want to be within their own echoxhambers will…

Is Twitter Still Worth It? I’m a non-American and have no interest in politics and have never used Twitter, but are people really leaving Twitter in droves? Does it hurt your brand to be on there now? Is it really Nazism and bots? Should I still use it? submitted by /u/Vegetable_Zombie9720

Is there a good guide for registering defensive accounts? I work for a very high profile person with their fingers in a lot of pies. We want to register handles similar to our main handle to prevent squatters and impersonators. Like our main is big bank, and we also want ‘thebigbank’ and ‘big bank official’ and ‘bigbankstate,’ I’ve been searching for a guide, but maybe I’m not using the right keywords….

Q about sharing/embedding videos on Twitter In the past, I’ve had people upload videos to Twitter for me, but I’ve taken over the Twitter duties. Q: How do I share/embed a video (Youtube, etc) into a Twitter post so that it plays as the post is VIEWED and is not a static thumbnail where you have to click on the thumbnail link, thus opening a new window? Is it a settings thing or does the …
