📈 1. Reddit’s Q4 Numbers Are In—And They're… Big?

Reddit just dropped its Q4 2024 report, flexing a revenue boost and a 73M daily active user count. Not bad for a site that’s half memes, half chaos.

Why it matters: If Reddit is pulling in big numbers, it means brands are catching on—especially with its growing ad tools and communities.

Pro tip: Find your niche subreddit and start engaging authentically. Nobody likes a corporate bot (except for r/ILoveBots… probably).

🎭 2. Instagram’s New Reels Content Prompts = Low-Key Genius

A new infographic revealing Reels content prompts to keep creators inspired has dropped. So if you’ve ever stared at your phone thinking, what do I even post?!, they’ve got you.

Why it matters: Instagram is clearly pushing Reels (aka still trying to be TikTok), and using these prompts can boost engagement.

Pro tip: Experiment with IG’s suggested trending formats—or just duet someone else’s video and act shocked at their cooking skills. Works every time.
