At this point, content that raises the levels of engagement is needed and a concrete example is the so-called UGC (User Generated Content). UGC means any type of public content such as an audio file, an image, russian call number for whatsapp a video or an advertising message, generated by users and uploaded to the Internet. The advantages of using this content generated directly by the consumer are many: they give authentic impressions of the products and services, since it is the consumers themselves who release their experiences generated by the purchase of the various products.

All this generates a sense of trust (or distrust otherwise) and determines the users' purchasing decision. This is the reason why many brands that rely on the UGC method have a higher engagement and success index than others that do not use it. Furthermore, the sum of Instagram likes and followers (the so-called "followers") has always influenced the credibility of the products and articles advertised on the social network. This, in fact, is one of the reasons to which the maneuver of obscuring likes responds. Standards have been discussed and changed, thus relying on shared content capable of generating a community with the aim of offering a guided choice of the product for the consumer.
