Citation formats

Among watchers of illegally accessed movies, TV shows and sports broadcasts on social media, the most common reason to prefer social networks over other websites is that it is faster, because these users already know where to look.
Most reasons for this preference are based either on comfort and ease of access, or the possibility to engage with other users and to share their opinions on the media they consume.
