Social Media is An Outlet

The internet is used for everything these days. When we do not know the answer to something, we turn to the internet. You can basically find anything on the internet. People use the internet to make friends even. People will just add random people on Facebook or follow them on twitter and in some cases, friendships form over the computer. Or take match.com for example. People are meeting their significant others over the internet. There are still some concerns with what on the internet is true and what to trust. Some people, I think, are too trusting over the internet. So if people put so much faith and trust into the internet, it has become a great place to rap consumers into advertisements and buying things they do not need. So many people are on the internet these days that advertising on the internet is the most effective way to get a product out there. Personally, I notice the ads but do not necessarily pay attention to them because I find them annoying. On the side of browser pages, there are constantly ads but how often do people pay attention to them? And on videos, there are ads but 9 times out of 10, we skip them or do something else while they are playing. However, ignoring said ads may not be what everyone does. Some people might actually look at those ads and they may appeal to them. Even though some people like myself find ads to be annoying, using the internet to broadcast said ads is the smartest marketing move.
