An update this week will overhaul the entire interface on TVs, with a new sidebar for navigation, a grid-based live channel guide, and a bigger emphasis on Amazon’s burgeoning sports catalog.

On June 12, crypto lending platform Celsius announced it was pausing the ability of customers to withdraw their funds due to “extreme market conditions.” Those market conditions, presumably, were the death spiral that cryptocurrencies have been experiencing for much of 2022.
The news sent a shockwave through crypto investors—particu
The influencer economy is on the brink of a seismic shift. Catalyzed by the popularity of TikTok and its algorithm, which prioritizes content types over creators, brand marketers and digital agencies are increasingly allocating
