This week's "What's Up" episode from the "Do This, Not That" podcast covers a variety of marketing, business, and pop culture topics. Host Jay Schwedelson shares stats on how often to post on LinkedIn to get more profile views, which social platforms teens are using daily, where Sesame Street may end up after Warner Brothers Discovery said new episodes don't fit their current strategy, a tactic for writing attention-grabbing email subject lines, PetSmart's new streaming content for pets, and Jay's thoughts on some shows he's watching like the Netflix movie "Carry On."

=================================================================
Best Moments:

• LinkedIn data shows members who post 2 times per week get 5x more profile views. With low content sharing rates on sites like LinkedIn (5%), TikTok (4%), and YouTube (7%), posting frequently can help you stand out.
• 73% of teens visit YouTube daily, 57% visit TikTok daily, 50% visit Instagram daily (Pew Research data)
• Warner Brothers Discovery says new Sesame Street episodes don't fit their current strategy focused on adult and family content. The show may find a new home with streamers like Netflix, Apple TV+, or Amazon Prime Video.
• For email subject lines, mid-subject line capitalization (capitalizing every letter in a single non-first word) is a tactic growing fastest right now. It can increase open rates by 16-21%.
• PetSmart debuted streaming content for pets called "Home for the Pawlidays" with footage pets enjoy like chasing toys and unwrapping gifts.
• Jay gives his thoughts on the Netflix movie "Carry On" with Taron Egerton + Jason Bateman, says it's bad so far but he'll keep watching. He's excited for Squid Game season 2 debuting in December and Severance season 2 coming to Apple TV+ in January.
