    1. ost advertisers are wary of pairing ads with user-generated videos, despitetheir occasionally massive viral circulation, out of fear of being associated with thewrong content.

      I always thought about how certain ads were paired with certain videos. I was always curious if companies were ever worried about what videos their ads would be on, and how decisions like that were even made. This confirmed for me that this is also a common thought amongst advertisers. If there ads were playing on not so appropriate videos it would have a bad look on their company and could damage their reputation/brand. The reading confirms that there is a fear of being associated with the wrong content.

    2. Platforms’ are ‘platforms’ not necessarilybecause they allow code to be written or run, but because they afford an opportunity tocommunicate, interact or sell.

      This is a confirmation for me because I always knew that social media allowed us to interact with one another and communicate via online. This justifies my thoughts because it claims that platforms not only run codes, but are a way of interaction amongst people. In addition it is a way to sell and make money by sharing new ideas.
