One-Third of Americans Admit to Doing Something Just to Be Able to Talk About It on Social Media

Ford recently conducted a survey about Americans’ sense of adventure in order to commemorate the Mustang’s 50 years. Megan Garber of at The Atlantic uncovered this tidbit from the survey:

When Ford asked its survey participants, “Have you ever, even once, done something just so you could post about it on social media?” 16 percent of them replied, “yes, more than once.” And 13 percent of them replied, “yes, once.” Which means that nearly a third of Ford’s respondents have done something simply to write or tweet or post or talk about it online.
