SOCIAL MEDIA

🔵 YouTube Rolls Out Color Customization for Premium Subscribers

YouTube is testing a color-based video sorting feature for Premium users, as revealed by 9 to 5 Google. This unique experiment allows users to curate video feeds based on the predominant thumbnail color—red, green, or blue. Critics question its relevance, suggesting its utility might lie more in aesthetics than content discovery, highlighting its peculiar approach to enhancing user experience.

🔍 LinkedIn Axes 'Creator Mode' Feature

LinkedIn is discontinuing its "Creator Mode" and hashtag function to broaden tool access and analytics for all, moving away from exclusive creator features. Launched in 2021 to enhance user presence, the platform now aims to democratize content creation, using topics and keywords over hashtags for content discovery, and keeping the "Follow" button to encourage a wider creative community engagement.

🚫 Google Halts Third-Party Cookie Deprecation Plans

Google's effort to eliminate third-party cookies by the second half of 2024 is delayed due to UK's CMA concerns over its Privacy Sandbox, which aims to offer privacy-focused ad targeting. The CMA highlights potential monopolistic advantages for Google, necessitating further compliance. Despite challenges, progress has been made, with Google optimistic about resolving these issues in collaboration with the CMA by early 2024.
