Join us as we dive into the aftermath of the Block Party 2024 and its ripple effects on social media, including the controversial move to block celebrities and their affiliates from dominating platforms meant for everyday users. We discuss the impact on both influencers and indie authors, whose livelihoods are intricately tied to these platforms.

Discover the latest changes in Instagram's algorithm, particularly its crackdown on reposted content, and the implications for indie authors relying on the platform for book promotions. Learn how these shifts push for creativity and affect marketing strategies for authors and their teams.

But that's not all. Amazon's recent decision to hide erotic novels based on reviews has sent shockwaves through the indie author community. We delve into the consequences of this policy change, from stripped bestseller rankings to altered search visibility. Plus, explore Amazon's new feature, "Your Books," touted as a personalized reading hub, and its potential to rival platforms like Goodreads.

Tune in as we unpack the evolving landscape of social media, publishing, and online commerce, and how these changes impact both creators and consumers alike.

Here’s what we’ve been up to! Settle down in your most comfortable chair with your favorite beverage and get ready to talk about the worlds we have visited between the pages.
