How many times have you or your friends shared any of the following?:
- A news article or campaign (such as the Joseph Kony video from a few years ago) = 6
- A music video or song = 5
- A funny video = 15
- An advert or a commercial product (e.g A picture of some new trainers you want) = 5
Q. Why do you and other people share these types of media? Who benefits?
I feel as though we share things like funny pictures or videos a lot because they make us laugh and we may want to share it with our friends for them to also see. We may share news articles because we find them shocking or upsetting and want other people to be made aware of them. As far as music videos or adverts, they are down to personal preference as you may share the music video or your current favourite song or you could share a pair of trainers that you would like to buy in the future.
On social networking sites such as Facebook you have the option to share the post to a number of different audiences e.g public, friends, only me or selected friends. As a result, you are choosing who can view what you have shared and they will then benefit from it. However, a lot of the time when we're scrolling down our news feeds we don't really pay attention to most posts so a lot of time,no one benefits from what you are sharing.
