Hi Michael!

Well, I'm not sure how to answer your question. I'd say the "why" is pretty straightforward: Because that will generate more money for the company, right? How they'll do it is another question for which I don't have an answer.

I'll keep digging into social media in future articles, though. I'd say these apps embody the most direct effect of AI on people and that's what I want this newsletter to be about.

Thanks the reason I ask is simply b/c I'm super curious about ByteDance's AI advantage. They are able to scale many different kinds of apps, get into social commerce, E-commerce and other things due to it. That Meta wants to pivot to their approach (too late) is also interesting.
