Why charities are now starting to campaign against people 'Liking' them on social media
Throughout my PhD topic of analysing charitable marketing on social media, I have passionately held the opinion that measuring social media pages and content using measures of popularity such as likes or followers is severely limited and represents something far more like slacktivism than real charitable activism. In the last couple of months, I have come across a couple of campaigns by charities that are acknowledging this, and are directly targeted against people simply Liking posts on Facebook.
