INTRODUCTION

Good day steemians I will comparing steemit platform to others social media platform, and I will writing the difference and comparison of both enjoy!! As you read.

Write about the social media you use the most daily and why is it beneficial for you or not?

Before going into the function and benefit of social media I will like to give a brief definition of Social media.
Social media is an online environment which can so be referred to as a virtual community, platform that has interactive digital interface where creation and sharing of , ideas, interests, and information.

The social media I do mostly is twitter, twitter is a small global community on its own where you can have interaction both the rich, the wealthy , influencial people and average people. Twitter is the first social media platform where you can find current trend in the world and in our local community.

So many things can be done on Twitter, but personally I go to twitter when am very less busy and I don't have anything to do, because am sure when I get there am going to laugh and catch a lot of fun by reading meanful post and post that are not meaningful.

why is it beneficial for you or not?

Twitter is very useful to me in terms getting crypto news, as soon as I get any pop up on my mobile device from Twitter I will quickly rush to check it because vital information can be released from top institutions and cryptocurrency billionaires to change the direction of the market.

Twitter serve as a relaxation place for me especially when I don't have anything serious to, I go there to read latest news about my country especially the just concluded party primaries and it was really fun seeing different tweets that will make me laugh.

Twitter is use for showcasing my skill, because a programmer in training and any new project I work on I always make sure I post it on tweeters to see people's comment and believe the comments I have been receiving from people have been so encouraging.

Why do you think spending more time on steemit than on other social media platforms can help you grow in life and benefits your life?

OMG!!!!
Am so happy about this question, steemit have been a wonderful platform that has blessed my live and other users positively, when I came across steemit it was one of my hostel mate that introduce me which is @vhenom, I was so curious to Know more about steemit but as soon as I started doing my achievement post I begin to learn do many things since then.

The minimum time I spend on steemit per day is 2 hours especially when the season is on, I take my time to read users post then comment and upvote, some Post in steemit have changed my perspective about life and about cryptocurrency in general, I have learnt all lot from professors and good content writers on steemit. Today am really making use of the knowledge made in Steemit to chat and talk with my friends and they look ate like a hero.

Thanks to steemit crypto academy and it's professors for the good job done both in theoretical aspect and practical aspect though it was challenging but the time spent on those assignments were really worth it and I have for once regret been part of steemit crypto academy though my account got muted due to one or two error from my part in which i could not explained how it happened, I have really learnt my lesson and wished I am forgiven.

The discipline on the Steemit platform have helped me to be organized the more and made me do a lot of research to create good content which has Helped me academically as a student, most times I feel lazy in reading but Steemit has thought me how to read more and made me a more better student.

In the end compare Steemit with other social media platforms by talking about their advantages and disadvantages, and give examples from your personal experience.

Steemit can't be in one way compared with other platform because social media platforms don't curate or pay users who writes a good content and the server as a encouragement to users to do more research so as to get more from steemit.

Steemit is also crypto related which makes it more unique, it has a well organized structure and what makes me happy about steem is that it's also decentralized , user have freedom to access their account anytime from any where provided that the user can still get his or her keys.

My personal experience

---

My first twitter page had issues and I tried to solve it by going through so many process but at the end all effort was fruitless, I had to open a new twitter page which am just grooming.

But here on steemit I have kept my private keys so intact that no one can access it, I have not encountered any issue of login or posting, for the fact that it is decentralized that aspect made it the best.

CONCLUSION

I will be concluding my post by say no other social media can be compared with steemit because of the high standard of organization and orderliness made by the instructors and organizer of the platform, they really done a good job kudos!!!.
