The real story typically comes from the real people involved. If they express their opinions and tell their story on social media, it's unfiltered.

Social media's a hotbed of misinformation! I'd never believe a post until I saw it confirmed on a news outlet.

People like to share things that are "shocking" and feed into their fear and filter bias. I always fact check or see if I can at least find the story on other sources.

Sam Ackerman

First off a "opinion" is just that. It's not fact, it's not news, it's just what some one thinks or feels. The same goes for "media outlets" No one gives a damm about your "opinions"

You can tell some things would not normally be filmed.

One has only to look at FB and its fake news and its coverup of same to know that many social posts are fake. Don't read or trust any of them.

Russian trolls and idiots that perpetuate their crappy memes. Don't believe anything you read on FB without verifying it independently, ever.

To often you learn later that it's fake or highly embellished.

More people sharing means more people eventually see.

Jacob King

Because I feel these days it's a far more powerful way to communicate with people

Lauren Greaves

Social shares let me know that the content is actually reaching people and they are engaging with it, not just visiting the page.

Dawn Elizabeth

Social media shares let me know my work resonated enough with readers/viewers that they felt compelled to share my content with others.

William DeLong

Social shares let me expand my content offerings and I get to measure the metrics on Facebook precisely. Social media is a much more viable option than just page views because of the versatility and targeted ads.

Erin Jean

If people are moved enough by your content to share it, I measure its popularity by that action.

RandomHumanMe

Page views are too arbitrary and include people who may disagree or dislike what they just read. However, only people who actively agree and appreciate the content will decide to share it with others.

bob

Page views are too easily inflated by users who see the content only for a moment but do not read or interact with it.

Kathy Handley

Other people sharing my opinion means it resonated more with them than them simply liking it

Shawna Westphal

Though page views are a great measurement for the effectiveness of a headline, shares prove the audience enjoyed the content enough to send out to their network, and that the content has the potential to go viral.

While sharing is important, some people are simply not willing to share so an important metric should eyes on the content.

Nadia M. Houston

I believe that people visiting the page tells more about its popularity than social shares because a lot of people may read the material without sharing it.

Jill Coleman

Page views seems like a more objective way to measure because you are including all the people who shun social media..

Maranda Jones

While social shares are important, measuring page views helps track conversion through the funnel.
