Gaining followers on social media is a addiction among teenagers especially generation Y (After born 1990), there should be limit on social media usage as an individual responsibility.
some of the major disadvantage of social media is Doxing, loneliness,and trolling. Social media has became symbol of social status, people are jealous with each other on social media even though on Steem as well. there are many cases seen on Steem that people flag high earning post on Steem. When people share something personal over social media they get many likes but dark side is most of who liked content feel jealous, it is an human behavior which we can not avoid.
We have to understand that Social Media website are designed in such a way that people engage more and more..It i say it is an addiction that would not be wrong.People post most happiest pic on Facebook are most loneliest person in theri life, there have been many cases that people have thousand of follower committed suicide.
What we can do as an Individual Responsibility-:
- Do not be expert on Social Media. Never express your opinion on sensitive issue. otherwise you may be victim of Doxing and Trolling.
- If you earn your bread and butter through social media, then work on alternate plan of earning source, because you may not know when you will be get mass reported and you lost everything, As good video share in this post.
- Stop sharing personal thing on social media, be happy with your self. If you want to share something Good do not share on social media call and talk to your loved one.
You make some great points and I couldn't agree more. Human behaviour is complex and we aren't taught from a young age how to handle social media attention in our lives which makes it difficult to deal with the problems as they occur when we get addicted to it.
