Last week was a crazy one with Apple's WWDC announcements, but the product + tech world never stops. Let's see what's hot this week:

1. Every week, there's some company in the hot seat and you never want to be that one. Unfortunately for Reddit, it was their turn this week. Here's a little recap of what went down:
   1. Reddit's had a free API for a pretty long time now. In fact, many smaller businesses were built on top of that API. Recently, they decided to make it paid. Spoiler alert: it's nearly impossible to successfully make a free thing paid 🤷‍♂️
   2. Redditors got PISSED. They even organized a protest where a number of subreddits went "dark" and stopped using the platform this past week
   3. Then, it got worse. An internal memo leaked where the CEO tells employees that the blackout protest "will pass"
   4. Of course, this made redditors more determined to win and many protests are still ongoing
   5. On top of all that, the platform ran into a ton of outages and technical issues this week 😬
   6. Ultimately, this was a great lesson in customer feedback and how powerful a group of pissed off customers can be. We'll see where this leads in the upcoming weeks
2. Salesforce jumped onto the AI bandwagon, launching a suite of "enterprise ready" AI tools it's calling AI Cloud. There's no doubt some incredible innovation will come from AI but the competition is going to be fierce ⚠️
3. The trend of platforms making changes to improve creator monetization continued this week. This time, it was Youtube, as the platform decided to lower the barrier to join its monetization program as a creator. BRB, gonna go record some videos 📸
4. AI video creation is a trend to watch, especially if you work in product marketing or growth. Synthesia, one of the pioneers in this space, just raised a $90M Series C. Add them to the quickly growing list of AI unicorns 🦄

It's that time of the week! Here are some more resources that can help advance your product career and job search!

Tips for Getting Honest Customer Feedback

Getting useful customer feedback is an art. Usually customers only leave feedback if they LOVE or HATE a product, but a ton of the value is in the feedback of those customers who fall in between.
