- blang 17y agoI agree with you that social media is popular because it is empowering. However, just because you are already empowered does not lead to a disinterest in social media. Empowerment has not stopped high profile celebs, traditional media outlets, or public figures from turning to social media.
- wmeredith 17y agoI concur, but as a group cutting out one of the medium's biggest (if not THE biggest) draws was sure to have some affect.
- rudyfink 17y agoI think this is more a consequence of the "lot to lose" side of being empowered rather than the existing benefits of being empowered. What I mean is that those who are empowered are probably not at all opposed to becoming more empowered. The risk from them may be greater than the reward though.
