Crowdsourcing changes the game of the internet this allows companies to advertise to a large number of people and allows them to collect data which then lets the,m figure out what people want or need, one company that very good at this is Amazon whenever you go on there app or website and look up a certain item they make sure you see another item that may go with it or they even may recommend an item that you might want by them doing this it’s like there forcing the item to you. Crowdsourcing happens on youtube every day with commercials before every video you watch and even YouTubers or social media influencers would be Guerrilla marketing a certain app or item so people would go check it out. An example is In the article The Future of Crowdsourcing said “It’s been used to come up with new business ideas, solutions to social problems, funding new products, mapping environmental disasters, identifying potholes that need to be repaired, and even getting someone to wait in line for your new iPhone.It seems like every day there are new products and services being launched that are leveraging the power of the crowd to do something.” and this is very interesting cause this is what every major corporation does.
