The Instant Fame Social Media can Bring

Today, with all the social media networks that play videos who anyone can create and post such as YouTube, Barstool, Tumblr, etc you see more everyday people gain fame than ever before. Everyone has seen videos such as "Charlie bit my finger" and "David after Dentist". With the connivence and accessibility for people to make their own videos and put them online where millions of people can watch them it gives everyone an opportunity to gain some sort of fame. You have even seen some people from funny or crazy YouTube videos end up in commercials, get an appearance in a show, and many more opportunities. For the first time in the history of the world you don't have to be an athlete, actor, musician, politician, etc. to be recognized by people all over you can simply make a video and post it.
