After analyzing many researcher’s studies regarding social media usage, YouTube, cancel culture, and the public eye, it is clear that social media has led to addictive behaviors that take up much of our society today, creating an environment of online negative aggression. Each source covered different topics relevant to social media, addictive behaviors, cancel culture, and the online world overall. All of these topics relate to my research. These studies that I have found from previous researchers can be divided into 4 sections; Addiction & Harm in Social Media, Public Apology and Cancel Culture, Reputation & Racism Remorse, and Inclusivity as Solution.
