Draft:Social media content farms

A content farm is a type of media company that produces a high volume of low-quality media in order to maximize views and advertising revenue. These companies figure out what search engines like Google and YouTube tend to recommend. Then, they mass produce content designed to generate clicks and engagement — and not much else.

With the emergence of social media, content farms have expanded their operations to YouTube, Facebook, TikTok and other social media platforms. The advent of the algorithm-based social media feed has made it even easier for clickbait baking channels and fake DIY tutorials to find an audience.
