Facebook pays creators (and skims a little off the top); Instagram anti-bullying action; IG engagement down.

Facebook Ads stop discriminating; Instagram “Chat” sticker, Explore ads, and layout tweaks (bye-bye, scroll); Twitter t tests layout changes, visual themes, and auto-mute; LinkedIn shifts towards relevant content, adds Company Page features, and adds ad retargeting; find me on Girlboss.

YouTube hides comments & lets you try on makeup; Instagram DMing suggestions; Twitter removes a feature AND a bug; LinkedIn interview prep & ad objectives; Google carousel ads.

Bad news for Pixel advertisers; Facebook rolls out Avatars, enhanced Video Ad creator tools,  Instant Article subscription features, a Portal app, and Audience Network game ads; Instagram “branded content” ads, Order sticker, and audience activity insights;  Twitter live “call-in” feature; Twitter & LinkedIn both acquire some tech; IKEA embraces Pinterest.
