Unity’s Teaser is Shocking, Instagram Gets Deterministic and Shopify is Coming for Your Bio

Game Developers Conference is happening right now and you’d be forgiven if you mistook Unity’s latest avatar in the teaser Enemies for a real person! The new tech is so accurate, even wrinkles and blood flow are on point!  Lauren and Josh talk about Unity’s latest and whether or not the real time video game developer is too much for Western tastes?  And more importantly, will we still be able to choose animal-like or cartoony avatars? Next up is Instagram and its fancy new terminology to explain... we’re not sure what.  But it’s “deterministic” and Lauren’s all over it. The intention from IG seems good – wanting to give people options over their feeds, but maybe giving users control over their own feeds would be a better idea? Uhem, yeah! Wait till you hear the grades Josh and Lauren give for this well-intended roll-out. Surprising? Not so much.  Shopify has come up with linkpop. A new link in bio that connects you directly to all things Shopify. Brilliant? Our team thinks... well we can’t ruin the fun. Listen to the show. But is Linktree bumming out about all of this...Hmmm?  Either way, Tiktok has rolled out Stories, no one is shocked or surprised – if anything, everyone’s a little confused as to why it took so long. Josh shares his worries for the short form video platform and Lauren reminds him, “It’s not about you.”  Gotta love it.  Don’t miss Josh’s upload – it concerns Web 3 and someone who leaked their pitch deck. Ha!  We’re everything you need to know about the Creator Economy!  - From the Team at Creator Upload  Creator Upload Socials:YOUTUBEINSTAGRAMTIKTOK
