It's our first Social in Six episode of 2026! This time our social media manager Emily Harrison is joining Mil to unpack all the latest and greatest from the world of social. First up, they're breaking down what brands need to know about X's ongoing AI image controversy, plus a handful of Instagram updates including: Customise Your Algorithm, an official launch for its new CTV app, and a so-called "likes recession". 

Elsewhere, YouTube has a new post format for Shorts, and Mil and Em unpack why Pinterest is increasingly becoming Gen Z's favourite platform.
