it’s clearly a time of great change in social media but it’s also a moment of great opportunity

REASONS

# 8/10 of top ten celebrities is not movie stars but are youtubers

# Kenyan olympian, Julius Yego, learnt how to throw a javelin from youtube. He won 2016 olympic silver.

# Obama’s first interview after his final state-of-union address wasn’t given to CNN but 3 youtubers instead.

——————————-

# Trumps controversial speeches garnered a lot of attention before he states his point. Social media is very entrenched in our lives.
