    This is not surprising when you consider that for every view of a TikTok video with a pro-Israel hashtag in the US, there are 54 views of videos with pro-Palestinian hashtags. In fact, FreePalestine is currently one of the top-performing hashtags across all of TikTok.

    Wonder what the impact of ChatGPT is on StackOverflow SO. Six months ago, I didn't go a day without visiting SO. Now I find ChatGPT almost always answers my coding questions accurately (and much faster and with more directly applicable code examples).
