Social media and its rewards

Greetings!

Gone are the days where we make use of the centralized media outlet which are not that accessible to all in the world, but the advent of technology and the development of various apps has really brought a total change to how we humans now live our daily life which this time around has really come with ease and not only that, it's also enable each and every human to have access to the ongoing in and around us.

The advent of technology which has brought about social media apps has really helped us in such a way that most of the people can now add to their value and most especially to their income through their activities on the social media which to me is a great plus to living a standard life in a society where everything has been on the rise when it comes to the economy situation of the world.

Making money via social media is a blessing to us and our current generation should count ourselves lucky to have been born in this age where we can make money through our articles and posts online which has really brought solace to us. People through their content are now making it big via the Social media platform and there's no doubt about that.

But like I used to say, there's nothing with an advantage that doesn't come with its negative side as well. Though the use of social media to make money has alot of its positive sides, when talking of the other side of it, we would come to the realization that people have really bastardized and misused it just for their own personal gain in order to generate more money via the negative way.

It's on social media that you would see people trying to make traffic jams through fake news. This is because they believe that when there is fake news, people would rush to click on the news and the more people that clocked on the news, the more they are able to generate what they needed to generate in terms of like and the likes which would in turn turn to making money for them. Though, people are already growing and getting matured to using social media and for some like me and others who have been conversant with the way things operate on social media, it would be difficult to deceive us with fake news or content. This is because I can easily detect what fake news or content is and all I do is filter what news I'm interested in or not.

Also, we have some that post things that are not supposed to be posted on social media just because of them making money via likes and the number of followers on the media. Some even go to the extent of posting their nude pictures and to some, they expose their body just to make money on social media. This is so bad that some would even make money by drafting their kids to the platform just to expose their body to the public which to me is an abuse of the child. All these together are the disadvantages and the bastardization of social media all in the name of its monetization which should be corrected by those in charge by checking the activities of their users.

So, like I have said, social media has really brought immense opportunities to all humans. As we as human can now have access to it at our fingertips and not only that, we can even advertise our product via the social media and make our money without any hindrance or extra charges as I have always done advertising my building materials and other services I used to render to the public, but yet, we still have people who are mishandling these platforms all in the name of creating traffic for their post which they believe will earn them more money at the end.
