HowSociable News.

What we cover

Social media is a serious industry — billions of dollars, billions of users, and a handful of companies making the calls. We write for the people who have to operate inside those decisions: creators, marketers, platform-policy teams, analysts, and everyone adjacent.

Our beats are organized around the fifteen platforms we track and the cross-platform topics that span them — monetization, algorithm updates, policy shifts, advertising, and AI's encroachment on social feeds.

How we work

Every story has a named author. Every story is edited by a second human before it publishes. We verify claims against primary sources — platform announcements, SEC filings, public statements, on-the-record interviews — and we cite them. When a story changes after publication in a material way, we log it on our corrections page.

We use AI for triage — flagging which press releases look consequential, translating non-English sources, summarizing long filings — but we don't let it write finished pieces. Our editorial standards spell out exactly what we will and won't do with generative tools.

Independence & funding

HowSociable is an independent publisher. We make money from advertising and affiliate commissions on our product reviews — never from the platforms we cover. Sponsored content is labelled Sponsored and kept structurally separate from newsroom coverage.
