Abstract Digital social media technologies have significantly influenced cultural creative industries in recent years. However, the debates in these two areas often go parallel. To fill this blank, this paper has analyzed the impacts of digital social media technologies on creative cultural industries in three scenarios and concluded three findings. First, digital social media act as an amplifier to expand the market and influence of traditional media industry while the former also rely upon the latter to build a new business model. Second, digital social media have undermined the traditional business model of cultural creative industries, which is established on the basis of intellectual property. Third, by analyzing the comments and preferences of consumers, computational algorithm is potential to provide a new approach for cultural content production.
