Hi Emily!
I just read over your article. Kudos for creating a new one, that must've been a lot of work! I have a few suggestions:
(1) Providing more sources would be really helpful, especially when you make claims about a state of being or a major change. Examples of this include the first sentence in the second paragraph of the intro section and the phrase "Apple took over" in Dumb Pipe.
(2) When you first mention large companies' interactions with fintech, you say they believe themselves to be "too boring;" can you elaborate on what this means or provide a reference to a company that stated that (where did you get that information from?)
(3) In the intro section, it would be helpful to give a quick one-sentence overview of what "financial services/financial services sector" is, since it is the major concept connected with social media in this article.
(4) Either in the Global Platform section or the section 2.2, give more examples of large companies and describe the impact new marketing has had on the companies (are they doing better? Compared to before social media, what're the stats on how many people they reach? If you can find these things it'd be super helpful and strengthen your point a lot).
(5) In the New Products and Services section you say "390 people," not "390 million." Just a quick proofreading edit.
(6) You could move the sentence about Venmo in New Products and Services to the second sentence in that section to provide backup for the revolutionary change and/or how it diverges from what the large companies are doing. How is Venmo revolutionary?
(7) A quick one-sentence description of what a dumb pipe where you first mention it would help with clarity, just like defining "financial services/financial services sector."
(8) The second and third sentence in Dumb Pipe would benefit from revision for clarity and flow.
Overall awesome job connecting two important concepts for 21st century finances and costumer interactions. You cover a lot of information in a concise manner. Most of my comments are about defining and providing examples, but I think you have a really good start here (I tend to nit pick haha). Best of luck revising!
Best,
Carissa
