Harry Styles fans are expressing frustration over ticket prices for his newly announced Together, Together tour, after Ticketmaster presales this week revealed costs that many said were prohibitively expensive.

The backlash reflects a familiar tension in modern pop fandom, where highly online communities collide with soaring concert prices, limited tour dates, and a cost-of-living crisis that has made live music feel increasingly out of reach. As screenshots of ticket prices spread across X, Threads, and TikTok, the presale chaos quickly became less about one artist and more about a broader question: Who gets to participate in pop culture moments when "together" comes with a four-figure price tag?

The frustration quickly spilled onto social media, where fans shared screenshots of ticket prices, queue messages, and memes critiquing the Together, Together tour's cost and accessibility.

Compounding the frustration is the tour's residency-style rollout, which limits Styles' U.S. appearances to a single venue — 30 dates at Madison Square Garden in New York City — and just a handful of cities globally, a format fans have already criticized as inaccessible. With many forced to factor in travel, lodging, and time off work on top of ticket prices, the Together, Together tour has sparked renewed debate online over whether destination concerts prioritize spectacle and exclusivity over fan access.

The backlash comes as Styles returns to the spotlight with his new single "Aperture" and the upcoming album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. — and it's part of a broader, ongoing tension between fans and Ticketmaster.

Last fall, Live Nation CEO Michael Rapino said that concert tickets are actually "too cheap." Speaking at CNBC and Boardroom's Game Plan conference in September, Rapino compared concert pricing to that of expensive sports events, noting that shows by top artists are now complex productions that justify higher costs. "We have a lot of runway left," he said. "So when you read about ticket prices going up, the average concert price is still $72. Try going to a Laker game for that… The concert is underpriced and has been for a long time."

Critics weren’t convinced. As Mashable's Tim Marcin noted, "On average, a ticket to Taylor Swift's Eras Tour cost $3,071 in Indianapolis, the capital of a state with a median income of $71,959. The price of a single ticket was double the average monthly rent in the city. That surely cannot be considered 'underpriced.'"

As for Styles' Together, Together tour, fans who managed to make it through the presale queue were met with a wide price range for the Madison Square Garden dates. Buyers were told that tickets "have been priced in advance by the tour from $50 – $1,182.40, including service fees. Ticket prices will not change during the presale or onsale. Price ranges do not apply to VIP packages. Tickets are subject to availability." According to the Hollywood Reporter, the most expensive VIP package currently available for the MSG shows is $1,667.

Even within those guidelines, seats were priced based on demand, and fans reported costs jumping as the venue filled — leaving many scrambling for anything they could actually afford, or sharing screenshots online to vent about just how out of reach "together" felt.

For now, "together" may remain more of a marketing promise than a lived experience. Looks like many of us will be watching this tour through TikToks and livestreams.

2025 was gearing up to be a year full of sequels. The top three movies at the worldwide box office were Ne Zha 2 ($2.2 billion), Zootopia 2 ($1.7 billion), and Avatar: Fire and Ash ($1.4 billion). While this Blumhouse sequel was never supposed to surpass a billion, many expected it to be a box office hit.

Looking to get your action fix? This year's lineup of superhero shows, from Marvel, DC, and beyond, can help with that. From the return of some of the best comic characters to the introduction of new heroes, 2026 is a great year to be a fan of superhero television.

When Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang announced the RTX 50-series at CES 2025, he made some performance-related claims that many enthusiasts rolled their eyes at. They weren't wrong. At launch, those claims were far from true.

The social media platform Pinterest is laying off as many as 675 workers, according to a new report from CNBC.

Why? Because the company is shifting its focus to AI, at least, in part.

In a securities filing submitted earlier this month, Pinterest specifically cited AI as one of the reasons for the planned reduction in force. The filing states that Pinterest plans on "reallocating resources" to teams with an AI focus and prioritizing "AI-powered products and capabilities."

SEE ALSO: Anthropic CEO warns AI will destroy half of all white collar jobs

Pinterest's layoffs are expected to hit just under 15 percent of its workforce, adding those employees to the growing number of people who have lost their jobs because of AI.

As CNBC also reported late last year, consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas found that nearly 55,000 people lost their jobs in 2025 due to AI. Pinterest plans to have completed its cuts by Sept. 30, 2026.

The filing also says that Pinterest's sales and marketing strategies are being reconfigured, which might be a hint as to which departments will be hit by layoffs.

Pinterest received praise from AI critics last October after becoming the first major social media platform to buck the trends and offer users the ability to filter out AI content from their feeds. Being that Pinterest is so heavily dependent on visual content, AI-generated slop was starting to inundate the platform. The negative reaction from users forced the platform to address this trend and provide users with options to remove the content. 

SEE ALSO: AI slop is killing the internet

Despite this move, Pinterest has been increasingly focused on bringing more AI to the platform, like virtually all tech companies. In late October, Pinterest launched "Pinterest Assistant," an AI-powered shopping tool on the platform.

Furthermore, earlier this year, rumors and discussions spread online about the possibility of AI giant OpenAI acquiring Pinterest, although there have been no substantiated reports about such an acquisition yet.

Samsung's next big thing has a big price tag.

The Korean tech giant finally announced a U.S. release date and price tag for the Galaxy Z TriFold, a smartphone with a new foldable form factor that includes not one but two creases in the middle of a gargantuan inner display. The phone, which we got some hands-on time with at CES 2026 a few weeks ago, will launch in the States on Jan. 30 for a price of $2,900.

Yes, you read that right. Two thousand and nine hundred dollars.

SEE ALSO: Samsung Galaxy S26: The 7 rumored features that could make me switch

For early adopters dying to get their hands on the TriFold, it's very much a good news, bad news situation. Previous rumors put the price of the TriFold at about $2,500. In addition, many mobile insiders expected to learn the TriFold's U.S. release date at the next Galaxy Unpacked event, rumored to take place on Feb. 25.

To be fair to Samsung, a high price is not a huge surprise, nor is it entirely unreasonable considering the going price for other, theoretically inferior foldable devices. Last year's Galaxy Z Fold 7, which is a similar device that only has one crease and a smaller internal display, started at $1,999. It's not completely out of this world to see a phone with a new form factor and presumably even more expensive tech inside of it start at a higher price point than that. In addition, Korean publications have reported that Samsung is actually losing money on sales of the TriFold.

Still, $2,900 is a lot of money for a smartphone, no matter how much context you throw at it. We can't say yet if the benefits of the new form factor outweigh the downside of paying that much for it, but hopefully people who do spent that amount of money on the TriFold are happy with their decision.

Netflix's winter release slate is promising, and this February, you can anticipate a schedule that keeps your watch list updated consistently. With new and returning titles coming to your screen almost every day, this month is sure to fulfill all your streaming needs.

A class-action lawsuit filed yesterday in California alleges that adult creator platform OnlyFans engages in "bait-and-switch" practices that mislead customers. The platform offers monthly subscriptions providing "full access" to creators' content, when in reality, most content is locked behind further paywalls.

When OnlyFans customers click "subscribe" to a creator's paid subscription, they're met with a pop-up promising "Full access to this user's content" and "Direct message with this user" (along with being able to cancel at any time). For free subscriptions, the page simply refreshes when a fan clicks "subscribe."

This complaint claims, however, that "millions of Fans have bought subscriptions only to discover that, behind OnlyFans's paywalls, Creators' exclusive content remains inaccessible." Rather, many creators only post teasers for content not included with the subscription, asking for subsequent payments to view. The suit also alleges that "the sole 'benefit' of many subscriptions is the privilege of being spammed with offers to buy access to content that OnlyFans initially promised."

"In essence, OnlyFans promises a buffet, but provides only a menu," the complaint states.

Specifically, this suit — with over 100 class members — alleges that OnlyFans violated the California consumer protection law, the Consumers Legal Remedies Act, which prohibits deceptive tactics like false advertising, and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, a similar statute.

The plaintiff, Los Angeles resident David Gardner, says he paid to subscribe to two OnlyFans creators he found on X, only to see non-explicit "teaser" content. He also received mass direct messaging soliciting further purchases.

The complaint states that Gardner "would like to subscribe to different Creators in the future, but cannot rely on OnlyFans's representations in choosing whether to do so."

Mashable has reached out to OnlyFans for comment.

OnlyFans has been sued several times over the years. In December, a federal judge dismissed a suit claiming that the platform and management agencies were running "chatter scams" that essentially tricked customers into believing they were talking directly to creators.

Finding the best gifts for teen girls is not for the faint of heart. Trends among teen girls are an ever-changing hellscape. Even millennials — people who are not that old, thank you very much — can have trouble navigating the world predominantly ruled by TikTok and content creators. Funneling those trends into a gift that she’ll like and use for longer than a month is tricky.

Rule number one when brainstorming a good gift for a teenager: Don't just wing it. Gen Z girls are clearly loyal to a defined handful of brands and have very specific aesthetic goals. Goals that could be torched by the honest mistake of grabbing generic white earbuds instead of the new AirPods or buying a Lafufu instead of a Labubu. (And what if she actually hates Labubus?)

But you know who does know what teenage girls want this year? Other teenage girls. I've been tracking viral TikTok products amongst young girls for months, compiling the most popular stuff with items that the high school girls in my own life have requested. The 2025 edition of Google's Holiday 100 list (literally based on the most-searched products of the year) inspired a few ideas, too.

Whether it's for a birthday, holiday, graduation, or just because, here are 30+ of the best gift ideas for teen girls in 2026:

Do Not Disturb is a useful feature for minimizing notifications and distractions when you need to focus. It has been around for more than a decade, and its core functionality has largely remained the same. However, for some people, it may not be strong enough.

We're just a few days into TikTok's new U.S. ownership and, thus far, users are skeptical. And, to be fair, it has been a relatively uneasy start.

In case you missed it, TikTok's new U.S. ownership group — a venture stocked with supporters of President Donald Trump — took power about a week ago. It's been rocky since. Here's what you need to know.

TikTok's outage issue

Shortly after switching ownership, TikTok went down, which wasn't taken as a great sign. The platform crashed over the weekend, the company citing a power outage at a U.S. data center as the culprit.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

"We're working with our data center partner to stabilize our service," the company said in a statement. "We're sorry for this disruption and hope to resolve it soon."

The outage was resolved, but that wasn't the end of complaints from users.

User complaints and worries about blocked speech

Since TikTok's new ownership group was finalized, folks have been worried about the platform blocking speech, perhaps because a Trump ally took power. And users this week began complaining that some posts seemed to be blocked or shadowbanned. Folks suggested that posts about ICE were either being suppressed or would not post. Pop star Billie Eilish, for instance, posted an Instagram story saying, "tiktok is silencing people btw" that showed her brother Finneas' anti-ICE post garnering hardly any engagement. Hacks actress Meg Stalter said she was unable to upload an anti-ICE post to TikTok at all. These claims echoed similar complaints from other users. Some folks also claimed that messages with the word "Epstein" produced an error message, which CNBC reported it was able to recreate.

It is difficult to confirm whether users' content is being blocked or shadowbanned, but TikTok has said that it is not doing so.

TikTok told CNN that the issues were glitches related to the power outage and that the problems were "unrelated to last week’s news." The company also told CNBC that users should not be blocked from messaging the word "Epstein" and that it was investigating the issue, among the other issues.

TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Mashable but it did point to previous public statements regarding the outage and its effects.

"We've made significant progress in recovering our U.S. infrastructure with our U.S. data center partner," it posted on Tuesday. "However, the U.S. user experience may still have some technical issues, including when posting new content. We're committed to bringing TikTok back to its full capacity as soon as possible."

All in all, it has been quite a rocky start for the new TikTok ownership group — time will tell if things get a bit steadier.

AI Mode is in your AI Overviews now on Google Search.

On Tuesday, Google announced that it was rolling out a new feature to Google Search on mobile that adds the ability for users to ask follow-up questions directly within AI Overviews and continue to carry on conversations about the topic in AI Mode.

Google originally shared that they were testing the feature last month.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

"People come to Search for an incredibly wide range of questions – sometimes to find information quickly, like a sports score or the weather, where a simple result is all you need," Google said in its announcement. "But for complex questions or tasks where you need to explore a topic deeply, you should be able to seamlessly tap into a powerful conversational AI experience."

AI Overviews are the AI-generated summaries at the top of many search results pages. They answer a user's query without the user having to leave the Google Search page, which has led to a "traffic apocalypse" that's crushing many news websites, whose content often powers AI overviews. Yet, as Mashable reporting has shown, Google AI Overviews continues to make basic factual mistakes.

Mobile users will now be able to click the "See More" tab at the bottom of the AI Overview and access a text input bar where they can take their conversation to AI mode and continue to dive deeper into their query based on the initial results.

In addition to this, Google also announced that its latest and most powerful AI model, Gemini 3, will now be the default model for AI Overviews globally.

Google continues to roll out new AI features across its products as it makes moves to dethrone OpenAI as the de facto AI leader. These new search-related features also help Google further assert itself as the search engine giant, as OpenAI starts to make gains in that area.

When most people think of fun Japanese sports cars, one lightweight roadster usually comes to mind, but there’s another classic that many drivers overlook. A mid-engine icon from Toyota delivers a unique blend of balance, responsiveness, and sheer driving enjoyment that continues to thrill enthusiasts decades after its debut. For those who crave pure fun behind the wheel, it arguably offers an experience that even the most beloved roadster can’t quite match.
