The Role of Social Media Platforms in Developing Model Citizens

Monetization is important, and YouTube effectively amplifies model citizen stories, like Justin Bieber who emerged from the platform. YouTube studios guide users towards becoming better model citizens through ad suitability, monetization, and viewership, fostering stories of success. Platforms like TikTok focus on building a community where wealth is distributed to a few individuals who become models for others, creating an aspirational image. Unlike TikTok, Twitter lacks the narrative of rags to riches model citizens, as it mainly features already successful figures engaging in debates and discussions.
