This week on The Creator Feed, Renee and Jim dive deep into a number of YouTube stories, including enhancements to shoppable links, a subtle but well-executed redesign, and what's behind the quarterly ad decline at big red. We also talk about how venture money might change MrBeast, welcome changes to Instagram's Creator Marketplace – including a cool new "creator profile" option, and Adobe's latest study on the Creator Economy and monetization. Plus a great TikTok video that highlights yet another unethical brand attempting to rip off creators.
