Information technology development, storage cost reduction and development in the field of machine learning has made user data a widely discussed variable at present time. In the age of millions of people connected through social networks, and word of mouth has been recognized many times in various fields of study. Traditional factors have recently come under scrutiny in this area of research. Social media gives ordinary people the power to be content creators and informants. This information is embedded in multimedia and is sharedacross social networks, what catches our attention, what we share thebiases and the digital footprints we throw away.
Social media has also had a major impact on traditional communication and information models. Social media use in a major demographic of youth is steadily increasing and young adult film audiences.
