Why Three Social Media Superstars Endorse a New Friend-Making App
Hive is a new app that wants to make finding new friends as easy as connecting with old ones. Social media stars Tanner Fox, Casey Simpson, and Shonduras join Cheddar to discuss how they've used the platform to make new connections and speak to their fans. They say the service is helping put the "social" back in social media.
Hive connects users by interests as diverse as films, fitness, or paintball. The three stars discuss what they look for when looking for friends online. The app allows users to meet up in groups, instead of individually, like most dating platforms.
Simpson, Shonduras, and Fox each have a unique expertise on different social platforms. Shonduras speaks to how he's been able to break through on Snapchat where others have failed. Finally, the three influencers discuss how the Logan Paul scandal has changed the way they approach putting content on YouTube.
