Social media

Troll-troll is a person who deliberately starts arguments in the comments sections of sites. Often they don’t even believe in what they are arguing for, they just do it because they enjoy it.
Hater-Another negative personality in social media, a hater is someone who voices negative opinions about other people. It might be inspired by jealousy or boredom.
Vlogger-Blogs have been around for a while (as readers of this one will know). Now that video equipment is cheaper than ever, lots of people have turned to blogging through video instead of writing, this is vlogging. Top vloggers often have millions of fans and get more views than many shows on regular TV.
Meme-You know those funny pictures with text on them? Those are memes. They are a fun way to make people laugh and often end up going viral. Why not try making your own about learning English.
The blogosphere-When the newspapers and TV are talking about an issue, people often say it’s ‘in the media’. When lots of bloggers are talking about it, it’s ‘in the blogosphere’.
Clickbait-Those articles that people sometimes share on social media with titles like ‘I started writing an article about English, you won’t believe what happened next…!’ are called clickbait. They have headlines that make you want to click through and read. The articles themselves often don’t live up to expectations, though.
To be addicted to-If you say that someone is addicted to something, you mean that they like it very much and want to spend as much time doing it as possible.
