What Drives Social Media?
Social Media is largely driven by "Influencers", these are people who either are paid by social media to moderate content, or are power users on these social media sites. Some powerful influencers are paid by companies to occasionally pitch a story to these networks in order to influence the masses. Most everyone thinks this is gaming social media, and is normally perceived as unethical.
