11. A computer-implemented method for allowing an end-user to create and share annotated comments on an image published on a digital content platform, wherein the method is performed by a computer processor, the method comprising: (1) providing an annotation interface to allow a first end-user to create an annotation on an image published on a digital content platform; (2) providing a comment entry interface to receive a comment from the first end-user; (3) receiving and linking the annotation and the comment; (4) identifying when a second end-user accesses the comment on the digital content platform; (5) displaying the annotation to the second end-user, wherein the displaying of the annotation to the second end-user is triggered when the second end-user accesses the comment, (6) matching the image, annotation, or comment to an advertisement, and (7) displaying the advertisement to the second end-user proximate to the annotation, wherein the advertisement is contextually relevant to the image, annotation, or comment.
