An example of a bad post was shown on
July 16, 2016 at 1 pm when the magazine company, Cosmopolitan, posted a video
that caused tons of backlash from their audience. One reason that the post was
bad is that the company didn’t listen and observe their audience or do their
research before creating a post that called an old age hairstyle by a particular
race a new trend. Another reason that the post is bad is that since the correct
research wasn’t done, thousands of commenters accused the company of cultural appropriation
and threatened to never buy the magazine again. The only thing that Cosmopolitan did do right about this post is show social media etiquette by taking responsibility for
the problem and apologizing by saying “*A note from the editors: Many of you
have commented on this video and
the language used to promote it. We take your feedback seriously and we
apologize. We can and will do better.”
