   patterns of behavior, i.e. how they use different social media platform
   features.
   - Influencer strategies and impact, i.e. how they gain and maintain
   popularity, how their influence gets operationalized.
   - Collaborative influencing; social media influencers’ impacts on the
   social, political, cultural, and economic landscapes in the regions.
