Instagram launches "Insta stories"
I remember when Instagram stories came out and everyone was devastated. "It's basically snapchat now", well about five years later and i'm pretty sure we're all obsessed. I love instagram stories, they're great! -

Growth of interest driven communites
Nowadays, especially on twitter I will see brands, A-listers, etc. Respond to their followers in a way that draws a lot of positive attention. For example on Twitter I saw a post about someone talking about their new sustainable jeans they bought, the brand then reposted their post by saying something like, "A poser in some sustainable jeans". This is really eye catching to me, and draws my attention to the brand! They are engaging with their target audience. -
