Why does every disgruntled user/client/restaurant-goer feel the need to start a movement?

Is it something about this generation, that must constantly have its feelings validated by others?

If you already failed to heed others who never used the site, or quit it long ago, does that say something about your character, that you would want others to do now, what you hadn't done before?

to be fair, the selling point of social media is to "start movements". And romantic ideas have large appeal, especially to younger audiences.

No it isn't, the selling point of social media is socializing and networking with real people. That's literally why it's called social media.

Cant forget the arab springs , twitter activism etc. I believe they capitalised on it
