Normalisation of behaviours on a 'global village' scale. But that's not limited to social media, that's "The Internet" allowing for relatively instant cross-global idea sharing (and included in 'ideas' are stupid things like product-unwrapping videos, video-game streaming with commentary, music, and all the other base shit that people seem to like only because other people seem to like it).
