Other than traditional media, advertising in social media is pursuing users’ participation and interaction which are mostly presented in simple index like CTR.

Users creatively make use of social media in-feed ads, favor and more than likely involve in luxury brand ads, also enjoy their own “carnival”. Though meanwhile, they are also slothful, silent and even turn a blind eye on ads. Consciousness and behavior may be occasionally inconsistent.
