The signs of its imminent demise are starting to show.

Will This also mean the end of Influencer / Affiliate Marketing?

"Instagram is giving us the ick: that feeling when a romantic partner or crush does something small but noticeable—like wearing a fedora—that immediately turns you off forever."

The latest algorithm alteration shows you "suggested" accounts intermingled with an exorbitant amount of ads, flooding your feed and pushing the stuff you come to Instagram to the bottom of a never-ending loop of ads and suggested content.

I legitimately think my thumb has over 100k scrolling miles trying to find the content I want on Instagram.

I think now is a do-or-die moment for the platform.

The automotive aftermarket industry is constantly evolving and 2023 is no exception. Here are the top 7 trends for 2023

1. By 2025, the light truck genre will dominate the market at almost 69% of all the new vehicles sold.

2. Manufacturers are getting a piece of the pie by teaming up with aftermarket great like AEV, Fox, and others to bring multiple trim configurations and one-off packages that turn a production-line vehicle into a custom creation.

3. The overland market is here to stay. This camping and off-roading hybrid are designed for those who want to enjoy the journey and the destination. Expect these products to start flying off shelves.

4. The next generation of hot rodding is now off-roading. Having worked in the truck and Overlanding space for over a decade I’m excited to see it become mainstream.

5. Keeping with the Overland theme, modular systems are steadily growing. Rack systems designed for camping, kayaking, off-roading, etc.

6. Keep an eye on the EV market. With the rise of Tesla and the release of the Ford Lightning, GMC Hummer EV, Chevy Silverado EV, the Rivian models, and more EV’s to come, the aftermarket industry will have to adapt and shift to comply with new safety regs, and massive changes to production platforms.

7. From 2021 to 2022 the used car market rose by over 3,000,000 more units being sold. The shift from new to used car purchases means that consumers are going to want to make their care unique to them and are more willing to do so as they fall out of factory warranty.
