What do you think social media is? People post because they want you to buy into their brand. This isn't just companies. They want you to know who they are so you will buy their books, attend their show, or drum up support for them in whatever domain they are trying to advance in.

I think it used to be better. However, any form of independent media will inevitably be seen as a threat which the rich and powerful will try to tame and exploit.

If you could create a form of media which had some kind of immunity to this I'd like to think it would be pretty huge but honestly, I dont think its possible.
