Generation Like Blog

Today I'm blogging about a video we watched in class the other day about generation like. The two main topics I picked to write about are how he compared social media to hunger games, and how companies see it as a promotional opportunity. My first topic I want to talk about and what I think is the main point of the video is how he compared hunger games to social media.Take Katniss Everdeen, And Peeta Mellark in the movie they are put into a world where they have to fight to stay alive. They have to get sponsors and people to like them to help them live longer in the game. There is a person they call the Game Maker that runs the Hunger Games and calls every shot on what will happen or when someone gets help from a sponsor. That starts me off with my second topic with how big time companies see it as a promotional opportunity. If u think of Tyler Oakley a famous you tuber from the video. He was talking about taco bell and how they gave him free tacos and free stuff to promote their food on his YouTube blogs. The reason why I picked these two topics is, if you think about it life these days to be famous or well known is like hunger games. You need sponsors(big companies) who want you to promote their stuff and give u gifts too, and just like my title a lot of people who LIKE you cause likes in the social world is like money.
