In the article “Snapchat Wants You to Post. It’s Willing to Pay Millions ” by Taylor Lorenz, discusses the change social media can have. Snapchat has competition with other social media platforms such as TikTok, instagram, etc. Snapchat came up with the feature spotlight, this was the way to get themselves up there again. Spotlight was for people to upload videos, if the video goes well/viral, snapchat will pay them well. Thanks to spotlight and social media in general, people are becoming rich in a way that is helping them. People who didn’t have the money to afford certain things, now have the money to do so. Spotlight is making a change in people’s life not just financially but also inspiring them to achieve things in life and help others.
My experience with social media is whatever. I just use it to watch funny videos and send them to my friends. I learned from reading this article is that social media can be used in a good way and also in a bad way. There are many changes social media can do to someone’s life.
One thought on “Conversation #3”
Hi! I really liked the way you mentioned different platforms of social media in your summarize. I think it really shows the competitions around Snapchat and it’s new feature, Spotlight. I agree with you that this new feature has changed many people’s lives who and encouraged them to start getting more money to achieve goals in their life where their main problem was money. I also agree with you on the usage of social media, I also use it to watch funny videos.
