In the article “Snapchat Wants To Post. Its willing to Pay Millions” By Taylor Lorenz, she talks about Spotlight , the new feature of snapchat. The social media platform allows users to make a lot of money posting their own videos online. Although snapchat is trying to compete with TikTok, a similar platform, where users can also display entertainment. Snapchat can pay millions to users who post videos that go viral. Snapchat is known to change young creators lives overnight
Spotlight gives opportunities especially for young people to express themselves and have fun. It also helps grow your account and expand your content to where everyone watches your videos. For instance an 18 yr old high school senior “Katie Feeney” earned over $1 million dollars from snapchat in two months by posting funny content. It helped open doors for her colleges and financial stability, she says “I now have the opportunity to go to the school of my choice”. A person’s life can change around so quick for the better.
I personally do not post any videos on TikTok nor Snapchat. i mostly like to watch funny skits and sports videos on TikTok, I enjoy it alot. As for snapchat I do not use it at all unless i wanna look at myself with the camera. I definetley learned that social media can be positively helpful for a person’s dream or lifestyle.
