LinkedIn: Jobs & Business News
LinkedIn

LinkedIn is different from other social networking platforms, which means that people post different content. For example, if you post a picture of a loaf of bread, if it's on Facebook, the text might be "This bread is delicious and where to buy it"; if it's on quora, the text might be the composition of the ingredients or the history of bread making; but on LinkedIn, the most matching text might be "I hope one day I can run my own bakery" or "I have three years bakery experience". I believe you can understand the difference. The atmosphere of Linkedin is a business atmosphere, a workplace atmosphere, and most of the users in it expect to see content related to business and the workplace, so if we want to run LinkedIn well, we have to remember that it is a professional social platform. In addition, the nature of LinkedIn and its function settings, decided it is a very useful platform for HR, sales and marketing personnel, and therefore, these three types of users will be relatively more active.

Tubi - Free Movies & TV Shows
Tubi TV

Tubi TV is a platform that provides free video service for movies and dramas, and its source of income is mainly from advertising; Tubi TV does not need to pay for the rights of these movies and dramas, but to get the license to broadcast them with the copyright owner for a specific period of time, so there is no cost of copyright purchase. Of course, as a competitor to Netflex, Tubi TV also has a section on Not on Netflix, a category of movies and shows that you can't see on other channels even if you pay for them. This is also one of Tubi TV's killer weapons. So what they did was, they did it for someone else first, and they curved it to save the country. They partnered with some Hollywood studios and helped them build an app that belonged to the studios, then played free movies with ads on it and split the advertising fees with the studios, while also accumulating brand advertisers. When they had accumulated enough brand advertisers and gained the trust of the studios, they launched their own platform, Tubi TV, which does not need to pay for the rights of the movies, but only contracts with the copyright holders to play them on the platform at a certain time, and then directly share the advertising. Tubi TV targets the OTT market, starting with Xbox, Roku, TiVO and smart TVs like Samsung and Sony. After Tubi TV's success in dominating the living room, the company has recently started to focus on mobile as well.
