I agree I always thought it was such a bullshit job. It didn't even exist until recently. I remember seeing an info graphic on the daily life of a "SME" and it basically consisted of the fucker doing nothing but checking twitter and Facebook and spamming the shit out of people.
besides isn't every 15 year old girl nowadays a social media expert?

They're mostly trash.
But I thought the same of "Information Architects" of the end of the 90ies. People that wanted in on the IT boom but didn't have much tangible to offer except a pretty distinct ability to bullshit. And a general knowledge of how people like themselves browsed pages.
Didn't take long until it even got its junior and senior roles of doing something fulltime that was merely a minor part of my education. At the same compensation of those putting in far more, with far less bs, nonetheless.With time this role got a bit honed, the volume and their responsibilities wider, and these days I suppose I can appreciate their roles. And I suspect the same thing will sooner or later happen to the "social media experts" and their uncanny ability to regurgitate things they've cross-read online and their "research" into facebook pages.

you can all go fuck yourselves you have a pretend job that is not real and only get hired at companies that don't have any sort of idea what's going on.
you have half a skillset - become a producer or designer or developer or analyst or strategist but what you do is only part of a job.
maybe you noticed that your role has no accountability - you're spouting shit about how to build at a dev, you're dictating strategy to a designer you're scoping for the producers and you are completely talking out of your bum-hole.
you make me want to become president of any company you work at so i can make you get up in front of the whole company and explain what you do and then then promptly fire you just for being a dickhead.
if you're an intern then this does not apply to you.
