✍️ TAKE NOTE

Heads Up, Scrollers: TikTok's Launching a Photo App (Maybe Called Notes?)

Ever feel like these social apps are trying to be everything at once? You might be right! As the competition to be the top app gets more intense and users grow increasingly tired of Meta’s “pay-to-play” model, there’s something new on the horizon.

Key takeaways

  • Get Ready for TikTok Notes (or Maybe Photos?) Millennials rejoice (or maybe not?). TikTok is launching an app dedicated to photo sharing, potentially called "TikTok Notes."

  • Details Are Elusive: While the app isn't available yet, users are getting notifications about it. Exactly what "Notes" will entail remains to be seen.

  • The Battle for Social Media Supremacy Heats Up: This move clearly targets Instagram's territory. It's another sign of the fierce competition between Meta and ByteDance (TikTok's parent company).

Why This Matters:

Millennials and Gen Z are the core demographic for both TikTok and Instagram. This news could signal a shift in how you share photos and interact with friends online. Will you migrate to "Notes" or stick with your usual haunts? Only time will tell!

Dove's iconic Real Beauty campaign just turned 20, and they're taking a strong stance against the pressure AI puts on women.

Key takeaways

  • Dove Pledges to be AI-Free: They vow to never use AI to create fake-perfect images of women in their ads.

  • Feeling the Pressure? You're Not Alone: A Dove study reveals 39% of women feel pressured to change their appearance due to unrealistic online images, even knowing they're fake.

Why This Matters: As a generation that has been vocal about body positivity and representation, Dove's campaign tackles the issue of unrealistic beauty standards head-on. Their AI solution empowers users to create a more inclusive online beauty landscape.

South Korea’s #4Bmovement is trending again, as the movement gets people talking about the declining birth rate of the country. Across the country 157 schools have no 1st grade students, a record-low number of students are expected for nexy year.

What is the 4B movement?

Started in South Korea, where misogyny and patriarchy are so rampant (much like many other cultures) that the women have been choosing to opt out of dating men. Instead of trying to beat the patriarchy, South Korean women began exiting the system.
